Ode To Yoda

Hindsight, as a gift good it would be
Ours if only to have it we could
Misery, to stop it for you and me
People not to meet, good be that would.

Hearts broken, not they would be
Heartbreak, not happen it would
Love true, we would see
Hindsight, as a gift, be good it would

Corners to turn, not turn them we would 
In hindsight, save us it would, we see
Troubles save us,  many it would
Life with hindsight, good it should be

Challenges though, would few be
Need them we do to grow
In hindsight, them we cannot see
Learn we must from our woe.

Forgiveness, a reason for this there is
Mistakes many to ourselves we lay bare
In hindsight also trouble there is
Need it when we do, it’s never there.

Mandy, you rocked this. Not only did you catch the essence of his speech pattern, but of his thought pattern. First place, see this, do I! LOL... :)

hey, this sounds just like Yoda. REally nice one, Mandy!!! (sorry if I have missed any of your blogs lately. I have been really busy at work and Joe is always home now trying to find work. It's really hard making time for Soup these days and I miss when I would be here for hours sometimes!!)
