I wonder if Eve ever regretted
Yielding to the serpent's sweet sophistry;
Did she stand at the Garden now gated
Wishing that back in Eden she could be?
Did Lancelot ever know compunction
For his affair with lovely Guinevere,
Sending the round table to destruction
While losing both love and friendships most dear?
Once we have chosen we cannot undo
That decision now living in our past,
We can change, become better, it is true,
Nevertheless the consequences last.
It is wisdom before we act to think
Once over we can't come back to the brink
