Hands of Time

How is it that I could not see
What life was offering up to me?
Missed opportunities come to mind
How could I have been so blind?

I started out a design in my head
My life took off and away I sped
But now when I look back it seems
I failed to pilot my jeting dreams.

If I could turn back the hands of time
To when I was young and in my prime
The eluded fortunes I could find
If only I could press REWIND.
