Future Look Back

Return to a past
what changes to make,
things I have done
or places I've been. 

Who should I be
a better version of me?

Reviewing life's travels
and what's come to pass,
would you change any aspect
of the person you see?

Who I am in the present
no changing my tracks,
like the mirrors reflection
just a future look back.

The road that I take is where do want to be? and I navigate it closely with my morals you see. Because life has a way of throwing curveballs at best and all of us fall off the track during that test. I like your words.
