Great write. Yes, an added s on the end of the word (Reign) would most likely make that line rhyme much better. Still, a great master piece! God bless the artist-MJG.
What we should properly understand is that past is afterall past. Let us not experience it emotionally but only as a witness. With this guideline, our life is in safe waters. Why should we feel being guilty? Our short comings are only the outcome of an immature mind. Our life is a big journey towards maturity. This means that at any given moment we are mature but when it comes to our reflecting about it, we may tend to feel that it was a case of immaturity. When we were in LKG, we collected pebbles but when we were in 10th class, we collected stamps. Both are perfect actions from their own point of view. This is what we have to realise.
