Things We Cant Do
Things We Can’t Do
Written: by Miracle Man
December 4, 2020
We can’t purchase that which isn’t for sale,
Or call back harsh words intended to assail.
Or pass to another what we don’t possess,
Or relieve guilt feelings with a large largess.
Or retrieve cast stones we’ve thrown in haste,
For words once uttered, can’t be erased.
We can’t get back occasions once they’re missed,
Or redo our actions, though we might persist.
we can’t recover time once it has passed,
Or at death take with us, riches we’ve amassed.
