Left and Right we turn each day before the sun has a chance to go down Left and Right we turn each night before the moon can drop tears of dew upon the grass and leaves turning corners is just a phrase a word at heart a souls last power each corner leads to another path each path a new day sweetly sing dear rainbow choose your corners wisely left or right there is always another chance to correct a mistake to redirect your path if the first turn you make isn't the one you want to make just turn around and take the other but thats what you think in life corners are a one way street no place to make a U-turn so when you think of turning corners remember you are not in a car there is no turning back to fix a wrong find a new path left or right its alright to make a choice whether wrong or right |

I really enjoyed this piece, Kellie... I especially liked the end about it being okay to make the wrong choice because its never too late to turn it around.... I have found this to be very true... there are very few mistakes which can't be turned around somehow.  ~ lots of chipmunk hugsLyra |

Oh this simply flows so nicely, but I’d rather not turn corners, just keep walking straight. But I know there are lots and lots of corners out there. P |

Oh the somewhat subtle change in mood at the end. A beautiful read with a clear message. I only thought that the line "you are not in a car" seemed sort of out of place. But other than that, very wonderful. |

See in a car, you have the abitlity to make a U-turn and correct the past. In life, once the past is over there is no going back. |

Kellie - great write, I understand your meanings and they are all so true. One does a wrong, it's so difficult to go back. You say it all well here... BC |
