I Lost It

i lost my pencil today, i should've written this poem with it i should've drawn a sketch that would sum up all my feelings i should've, but i didn't. i lost my shoes today, i would've worn them yesterday i thought i'd keep them for a special day, that day has come now i don't have shoes to wear. i lost R20 today, i should've bought a pair of socks i should've bought some veggies from that old lady on the street so she could feed her kids. i thought I’d keep it for a rainy day, that day has come now i don't have a cent. i lost my tongue today, i thought I’d only say something when it suits others. i should've said "i love you mom" i should've said " forgive me LORD" i should've, i should've, i should've. i could've, but i didn't. if GOD could grant you a wish today, would you wish back everything you've lost, or would you ask Him to help you acknowledge the things you still have. you could, 'coz you still have your life.
