I’m not much of a poet, but sometimes I get an urge to toss some ponderings on paper. I thought about taking the time to make it sound nicer and more rhythmic, but for now I figure the original speaks pretty well for itself.
Sometimes I look back on my life,
I take a small pause in the constant movement and process of life and think:
What if I made a wrong decision,
turned or went the wrong way at a fork in the road?
Where does God want me to be?
And then, I reflect.
I think of all the people I have met along the way, how I grew, how we influenced each other
There is so much to even one person;
so much I would never have wanted to miss, so much I discovered
How could I want to go back?
I cannot, because every person I meet alters me in someway
and if I did go back
I wouldn’t be me anymore
There can never be ‘if onlies’
We can only keep loving, learning, and moving forward
