The Way We Were

Unfortunately, life does not have an eraser,
to do away with our past discretions; 
and the way we acted in certain situations. 
Oh, I know I would require a great big eraser

Fortunately we do have an opportunity, 
to be the person we were meant to be;
not one from youthful times like me.
For I have learn from my buffoonery.

There is a way to delete our past, 
and do away with whats within us,
live for today and learn to trust;
for only He will judge the past.

You are right Pixie. we should live our lives every day remembering that He loves us, not because we are good but because He is loveable.

H Arbol, we all make mistakes in our life and would love to delete them , but sometimes, something or someone reminds us and then all over again we feel bad! Yes we should live our lives in a Godly way - we cannot plan tomorrow, only He knows! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
