Look Back Upon Your Life
by Robert J (Bob) Moore © 2019
When you look back upon your life, are you happy with what you see
did you live life as you wanted, and be what you decided to be
did other people choose your path, or did you choose your own
and work for what you wanted, as through this life you’ve grown
Many do not have the chance, to do just what they may
sometimes, others take the lead, and life gets in the way
we just take the easy road, where resistance is the least
and soon the years have slipped us by, the nature of the beast
Before you know it, time has passed, not much road lies before
and every day you remember things, and wish you had done more
of all the things you could have done, the loving and the living
and telling people how you feel, the comfort and the giving
But time will wait for no one, make sure your life is full
of memories, and ones you love , don’t live a life that’s dull
because there is no second chance, to say the things you think
laugh and love, and speak your mind, and push life to the brink
Then sometime in the future, you can look back and say
I may not have been perfect, but I lived life my own way
I lived and loved, and danced and sang, and did what I believed
I think I can be happy, with the things I have achieved
