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. © Paul Warren Poetry What do you leave behind that you regret now and would do over?

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!
