Sidney Beck Poet Quatrain

One Way Only

ONE  WAY  ONLY



If I could go back in my life and change one thing 
Or even if I were allowed to go back and change it all
I don’t think I would want to change anything
Or try to make smooth weather of every squall

The hurts and ills I have caused shame me,
Bad choices  I’ve made and wrong roads I’ve taken
And hills I've not climbed  - for these, feel  free
To blame me for I was  in error   -  I was mistaken

But everything that has happened has led me here 
And this is where I am happiest,   though 
Not in perfect bliss  or even anywhere near, 
But  this is the garden in which I  can grow.
