Mea culpa While the sins of others may give pain with which I'm fraught They don't cause me unceasing distress that lingers within It's those things that I did but should not have, or didn't but ought That nag me in the wee small hours and stay under my skin

Now I know what Mea culpa means :-) I am envious of your word craft and impressed by your philosophic attitude. I totally relate to your poem.

Yep...we often don't even consider our sins of omission. All the opportunities to do good we let slip away...thinking it's ok.
