So sad that I hadn’t lived my life right
therefore, I hadn’t really lived at all
yet, I must have lived
for I’ve learned many things
much of which is what not
to do or say
that if I had to do it all over again
I would surely do it all differently.
but, one doesn’t get another chance
and, we don’t do this life over again
so, if one was careful not to ever utter the wrong
word or do the wrong thing,
and he almost loved,
with never one rejection
or broken heart,
can we say
that that was living?
you could say then
that I ‘almost’
lived, or you could say
I ‘almost’ loved…
that if I had made
many a mistake
that I had lived
a full life?
Is being right all the time
worth the price in that
being wrong will
straighten you up
so that you will not
make all the same
mistakes over and over
so that your remaining
years on this planet
may prove
rewarding
and
worthwhile?
I can say
I almost
lived.
I can say
I didn’t live
fully.
but,
I can
also
say
I still
have
some
time
left…
