Our Past Is Unforgiving

Our Past Is Unforgiving
Miracle Man
4/23/2023

We squander our time
when we venture into the waste land of life
inhabited by the what-if’s, and if I’d only.

Time is not a granter of mulligans, 
so the past is unforgiving.

Mistakes or bad decisions are a part of life,
and leaves collateral damage which affects others.
Any mistakes should be viewed as teaching tools.
