Another Chance
If I could go back
If I could only go back,
and change what I'd done,
I would.
I would change my life.
The way I treat others.
Others I love.
even ones I don't know.
I would do right.
Not wrong.
Treat with compassion
and not hate.
If I could go forward I would.
So I know when the
unthinkable
would happen.
So I would know when
things would be bad.
So I could see my life.
So I wouldn't have to go back
and take another chance.
Another chance
could possibly just make things worse.
I needed to know
how everything would be
so I wouldn't scew up my life
even more.
But I can't.
I can't take
another chance.
I can't
go forward
in time.
I can't see when death happens.
Deal with it first
to make the second impact better.
I can't do it.
So I need to
do good in my life now.
Do best as I can.
But no matter how good
or bad
I do...
I will always wish
for that second chance,
or even
that look to the future.
