I am
not what I could have been---
If I
did what I should have done---
But I
wish I were---
What I
could have been---
If I
had it to do---
over again!

I wrote "No Thoroughfare!!"
But love came laughing by and
Cried "I enter everywhere!!!"

Once there was a darkness
Deep and endless night

DKW....No, not really.  There are a few things I am sure I would change given enough contemplation.  Thanks and have a great day.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

Should of, could of, would of, but we don't.  Why don't we ever make our moves when the time is right.
*sigh*
Excellent poem though, on a troubling subject.

There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all

Given the knowledge we have today, I'm sure we could go back and make some changes.  Given the knowledge we had THEN, we made a decision based on the factors and influences in our lives.  It wasn't a bad decision...just a decision.  Well stated Rex, Hardrock.
