I Don’t Regret a Mile by Howard Goodman

I’ve dreamed many a dream that’s never come true,

I’ve seen them vanish at dawn,

 But enough of my dreams have come true

To make me keep dreaming on

 I’ve prayed many a prayer that seemed no answer would come,

Though I’d waited so patient and long;

But enough answers have come to my prayers

 To make me keep praying on

 I’ve sown many a seed that’s fallen by the wayside,

For the birds to feed upon

But I’ve held enough golden sheaves in my hands

To make me keep sowing on

I’ve trusted many a friend that’s failed me

And left me to weep alone

But enough of my friends have been true-blue

 To make me keep trusting on

 I’ve drained the cup of disappointment and pain,

  And gone many a day without song

But I’ve sipped enough nectar from the roses of life

 To make me want to live on.
