Wishes

Have you ever wished you could take something you said back? Or some action that would have changed your life? I have, but it doesn't do any good. That is what inspired this poem.




How many wishes have you wished?
Against your choices past
What would you do differently?
If you could take it back

Wishes wasted, bitter tasting
On what could’ve been
Thoughts a turning, hearts are yearning
On what you’d change back then

What of now? Have you thought of that?
Though you’re heart is full of sorrow
What would you change right now?
That could change tomorrow

You've looked hard at what you should’ve
Now look, at what could be
What can you change right now?
So you can be happy

If pain fills what you've been
You need to change your “be”
And then your “be” will be right now
And then you will be free

Then you’ll smile when you look back
No regrets, you’ll find
And no more wasted wishing
Will be troubling you mind
