I Wish I Was Better

I wish I was better at leaving well enough alone To know to pick up the pieces and just go home I need to learn not everything can I master Many of these things wind up in disaster. I wish I was better at knowing when to stop I seem to be relentless in my pursuit of the top I know it good to always try to do my best But when I am tired I have to learn to rest. I wish I was better at seeing things the way they are Like counting how many marbles are inside the jar Every day it changes sometimes near and others far I look up at the sky and I wish upon a star. I wish I was better at just letting go There are some things I don’t need to know But I always am reaching though I’m not there yet When I get there I’m not too happy with what I get. I wish I was better for waiting for tomorrow To see I have what I need I don’t have to borrow Sometimes I get better while others I get worse I need to take the time and consider the source.
