One Way Only
ONE WAY ONLY
If I could go back in my life and change one thing
Or even if I were allowed to go back and change it all
I don’t think I would want to change anything
Or try to make smooth weather of every squall
The hurts and ills I have caused shame me,
Bad choices I’ve made and wrong roads I’ve taken
And hills I've not climbed - for these, feel free
To blame me for I was in error - I was mistaken
But everything that has happened has led me here
And this is where I am happiest, though
Not in perfect bliss or even anywhere near,
But this is the garden in which I can grow.
