Just a Wish

I wish I could turn back the hands of time
so I can make my wrongs right.
I wish I could go back to that time
when I did things I thought was right.
Why can´t I erase the mistakes of yesterday?
when I should have said yes instead of no.
Why can´t I go back to that day?
When I should have said come instead of go.
Why is it so easy to lose an opportunity?
and so hard to get it back.
Why is it so easy for tomorrow to come?
and impossible to get yesterday back?
All these questions I ask
but no answer comes to mind.
All I just have to do is forget yesterday,
make good use of today,
never repeat the mistakes of yesterday
and prepare for tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
