Now in the autumn of my years. I have time to contemplate.

Where I have been, what I have achieved.Though it is too late.

The past is past and can’t be changed. I have no choice but to accept.

I made mistakes as we all do.I cannot claim to be perfect.

When I was young I chose to do many things; I now regret

My conscience refuses to allow me to just forget.

Youthful mistakes made in the past. I feel guilty even yet.

Though I regret my past misdeeds ; I cannot evaluate

 The harm I caused to others because I did not show respect

 to rules meant to be obeyed. But I did not and caused upset.
