The Tiger Behind

 

Regret is sometimes like a hungry tiger
that travels on our path behind
seeking its keeper and its empty cage
…following the trails in our mind 
and roaring in rage
No matter how we feel
no amount of feeding now...
 makes up for it’s lost meal
How I wish in peace it could abide
and lie down content by our side
Regret is a tiger that will never be gone
In its hunger…it always prowls on...
