Have you ever stopped to think about- The path in life you took? If hindsight’s twenty-twenty, Be sure to take a look. Mistakes I made are obvious- As I look back through the years… But maybe not so crystal clear, They’re clouded by my tears. Funny how it seemed so right- But now it is so wrong- Why, friend, that sure reminds me Of some sad, old, country song. Those vows about “forever”- All vanished like the mist- And meditating on them, Only gives the knife a twist. Regret is such a waste of time- You can’t turn back the clock. Nor board your ship when it comes in- If you aren’t at the dock… There is not a lot of future- If you are living in the past… So stop and smell the flowers- However long they last. |
