I Truly Wish I Could Have

Laughter, To Somewhat Understand Just one thing Aptly, Mastering Arts Learned So long ago with self control Seriously, Eager Headstrong Tot, not so long ago that I rolled Readily, Steadily Running After Every Grim thing I found Evil, No I am inwardly still trying to fathom hallowed ground Vicious demons rip and claw and tell me not to go Ever present, I stop and grasp right onto God, but not for show Raring to deliver, I stop and quiver, yell and shed one tear too late Early in the morning, woke up and put on my shoes Must be sliding down the old river now, paid my dues I cannot fathom anymore or any less than before Telling me now in my heart and in my chest, open the door.

Thank you Carol, and everyone for your kind comments. Linda, thank you and I know he is the door, the way, and the light. Just expressing the feeling I get sometimes that I wish I could take some things back, and have a moment again to not make the same mistakes.
