Paul Warren Poet Ballad

What Do You Find Down the Back of the Seat

What would you find down the back of the seat
Was it something you lost to make your life complete
Some words that you scrawled on a slip of paper 
That would curry from them a life altering favour
Words that were lost to your world  that would heal
Or for your lover that would seal love as the real deal
Maybe it's the jingling sound of some lost gold coins
Paying a debt that meant something when it was purloined 
Perhaps it's too late and the moment has  passed
And what you have now for all time will forever last.

What do you leave behind that you regret now and would do over?

Heidi Sands August 21, 2017 at 5:22 PM I can certainly relate to things fallen in a seat, in the simple way,,, good poem addressing this issue! I have a few bigger things I regret, but I do my best to live purposely with all that I dream of doing and pursuing truth at all costs, speaking my mind too, so that I will not have regrets later. Thanks for sharing this great poem! Paul Warren August 21, 2017 at 7:58 PM Thank you again for reading and commenting on my poetry. It's interesting to think on what we lose and ain as life goes on.
