You'll be more
Disappointed by the things
That you didn't do
Than by the things you did

So throw off the bow lines
And sail away from
The safe harbor...

The poster said

How do I know I
Will be more disappointed
By the things I didn't do?

I didn't do them
So how can I be sure
I would have enjoyed them
More then the things
I did do
If I never did them

There are two roads
We must choose one
And we will never know
What it was like
To choose the other

As far as the harbor
I like it

The ocean is dangerous
And though great adventures
May await

Also great dangers
And the possibility
That the ship will be destroyed

So I'll stay in my safe harbor
Not being disappointed
By the choice I made
To stay there

Just watching the otters
Eat their lunch
And paddling around on a kayak
