Never Look Back

When her thoughts are her own
 She often thinks
Maybe I could have been

She remembers being so young and innocent
As she looks into the past

In the golden years of life
She says I could have been

Wife and Mother
She chose to be

She still looks back and says

Maybe I could have been

She holds the tears inside
Turns and walks away

Her heart says softly
Never look back
