In Your Face
There it is, the facts!
Some passed foolish words or acts,
a picture presence of a thousand words
looking back without grace to be restored;
what you said or what you did
no one can ever forgive.
Everything we say or do
haunts us until we're screwed
no one forgets the human brewed stew
backtracked apologies, missteps or intended grace
our past comes forth to ever be in your face.
Wisdom seems to come with age
and in our endeavors, each is gauged
by the very steps, we play upon life's stage
but time hardens and wrinkles our face
with mistakes regrets never erased.
