Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any [...]

Life is Too Short to Wake Up With Regrets

Photo by Flickr User believer9

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don’t.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
