The Soul Slipper

They say
 you have one life to live
and I believe that's true today
 but in the in-between hours I give
I know, I haven't always got it right in how I live.

The challenges given me
 forging this life along 
often lay in regrets and mistakes in destiny
 those things and happenings right and wrong
I cannot undo, I'm not that strong.

So I question what was
 pondering all that could have been
afraid I haven't got it right and pause
 asking God, please since every life is His to win
let this soul slide one more time in newer skin.
