Hindsight

I watch as the tears stain your beautiful cheeks As the pain fills your stunning eyes As the question enters your brilliant mind Why? Why? You ask If only I had had the insight The insight to avoid regrets Regrets…I have many. The much desired foresight The foresight unlike the cloudy haze I look to for answers Anything other than simply hindsight A lone tear drops to my blank pages Reflecting on years gone by Remembering vividly the details Mistakes made Pain created Tears fallen Now, with a brief glimpse to tomorrow The site of what can be is seen Here I sit, wishing to rescind my yesterday For what once was, is so bittersweet Countless reasons for the bitter sweetness I look to your face with much love and admiration The beauty fills the mere air that surrounds you I regret that I ever touched your flawless beauty Until the day arrives which I no longer breathe You, my daughter, will remain my constant My healing and my healer My friend
