Choices
How many times have I looked back on something that took place
And asked myself what if I could go back and time erase
If I could visit it again and have another chance
To recall that which I had done, a new result advance
If only fate would grant me, the chance that I desired
To make amends for what I did, for the ending that transpired
But wishing doesn’t change things, and chances are so few
If instead of trusting things to chance, I took another view
What if before I acted, I ran choices through my head
Gave some thought to what might be, and made a choice instead
For choices, unlike chances, are the wiser things to use
Since chances come all by themselves, and choices come in twos
