Poem by Edith Matilda Thomas

A Vain Regret

He was six years old, just six that day,
And I saw he had something important to say,
As he held in his hand a broken toy:
He looked in my face for an instant, and then
He said, with a sigh, and a downcast eye,
"If I could live my life over again,
I think I could be a better boy!"
