Decisions

Thinking back to all the decisions I made I knew the debt would have to be paid I knew it then and I know it now Would I have made them anyhow All that was adds up to now So decisions made in haste or youth That brought us to our current truth Must be faced cannot be denied But could become a useful guide If only I could find the wisdom And the vision to make revision Accept what is, honor the past Create a future unsurpassed But more than likely the future will come And as always I will succumb After failing to make the needed revisions Wondering why I made those decisions I am who I am and will never learn To make decisions that don’t cause concern The past and the present seem not much different It appears the future though contingent On today’s ability to make commitment Will leave me wondering quite dismayed Thinking back to all the decisions I made
