Journey To Who I Am

If I could go back and change one thing

I wouldn't do anything different than before

Sure there are results I wish ended better

But my past made me who I am forevermore

The best I can do when I look at my past sins

Is to say that I learned lessons the hard way

It wasn't always easy to figure out the right path to be on

But now I can sit here and honestly say

My life is the way its supposed to be

And I am grateful for all the experience I have gained

For they were all a part of my destiny

It is the reason that I am the way I am now

And I love the person that I am today

And the morals and values that I have picked up

Believe me when I say

That I am now who I always wanted to be

If one goes back and changes anything, we never will know if we can write to go back and change. If we live to we are elderly which is a blessing, we get there living our past. Wonderful piece Melissa >> James
