Any Memorable Experience
I can remember a past
seething with the ones I hurt,
with the ones whom my hurt came
and with my regret I can see
that hindsight is so much more than a number.
I can remember a past
flowing with the thanks of many
for the help I've blessed they're life
and the debt I feel toward others
for the care they've shown myself
and with my pride I can tell,
we are capable of such potential.
Though different these two may seem,
what we feel is what we live.
And if what we live is what we feel,
then may I live to feel grateful,
grateful in all life's experience,
whether life gives its negative tests
or grants its positive bliss.
