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.
