The Bottom Line (poem)

The Bottom Line

lying in bed awake
at 3:17 a.m.
my wife's heavy breathing
the weight of the dog on my leg

I am visited by the ghosts
of past mistakes
and dance to a symphony
of regrets

I wouldn't change a thing

this is who I am
counting my blessings
in the dark morning

==Charles Deemer
