Hindsight
Where we live and what we do
Are choices made without a clue
If we will thrive at home or work;
We cannot know what problems lurk.
Decisions made when we are young,
Some based on plans to which we’ve clung,
May work out just the way we’d hoped
Despite some pitfalls never scoped.
Yet other picks may not pan out
And leave us filled with dread or doubt.
Of those selections, most will curse them;
It takes courage to reverse them.
Age makes hindsight crystal clear
So regrets may thus appear,
But since magic we do lack,
There simply is no going back.
