Past, Present and Future

We can all sit back and review the past
Of relationships that sadly didn’t last
We ask ourselves just what went wrong
And our songbird sings a sad blues song

Time to move on and get on with our life
Deal with all our old worries and strife
We can only learn from a past mistake
Hope for better days with less heartache

We cannot predict what the future will bring
But I hope in time your heart does sing
And you find the one that you’ll adore
Restoring happiness to your life once more

I;ve learned a lot about MYSELF from reviewing the choices, the people that I have made. Heartache brings such growth if we are willing to be broken-hearted for a bit. really nice poem. :-) Christine
