Life is a constant learning process
if, if, if...

If I had known this
If I had done that
If I had been...

If I had, If I had, If I had...
known known known

If I hadn't met, or done, or
or, or, or
if if if

But those don't matter...
since.

Life is what it is
We are where we are
We deal with the hand that has been dealt us

We go where we can
Do what we can

Take the opportunities when they arise
or just let them and days, slip on by...

and what happens next
is a fact we can't fix

as I said before
Fate is a fickle friend and foe

Things happen
people are brought together
we have little control

We chose to hold them,
keep them, while we can
bring them back
or...

Let them go.

It's the truth and you put it into such a wonderful poem.

Or some of us keep hanging on... and on and on and on.    Not me, of course, I'm just saying...

I seem to have a real problem with the lack-of-choice stuff... so I'll probably be clinging to their ankles as they try to walk out the door. *G* But I do appreciate the need to make the most of each day and every opportunity. *S* You've written wisely and well! *S*
