Why is it...?

Why is it...

That we often expect, but seldom give!

That we often accuse, but rarely praise!

That we often hurt, but seldom help!

That we often complain, but rarely appreciate!

That we often comment without thinking!

That we often lament over small things!

That we say bitter things, we later repent!

That we act without thinking and later regret!

No use crying over spilt milk, 'tis said.

One can always buy a new pack!

But a harsh word or a thoughtless deed

Can never, ever be taken back!
