If I Could Go Back

I have made many mistakes &
try to learn by them every time.
although no one is ever perfect.
i always try keeping that in mind.
If i could go back to where i left
                  my smile.
to have more happiness and less
                     sad.                                                             
to accept life's craziness full of a
    lot of good but more bad.
If i could go back i would thank the
good Lord for making me always feel
                blessed.
for what i have and who i have in my
                 heart.
with only one life to live try to make 
      it your very best start"
