The Future I'll Change

Contributed by WoodyMc44 on Thursday, 21st April 2005 @ 07:44:13 AM in AEST
Topic: InspirationalPoems

Looking back over life, the times good and bad
Hard times and struggle and some that were sad.
I find myself wondering were there times I would change,
could I somehow go back, and my life rearrange.

The mistakes that were made the learning process
In most cases have proved to be times I was blessed.
You see were not perfect and never well be,
For this very reason were then able to see.

That regrets may be present, although put in their place
We continue this journey and regrets not retrace.
When I find myself down, my strength has stalled.
It's the good things in life I prefer to recall

Looking back on my children, watching them grow
I find that I'm proud, but theirs more I now know.
We nurture, teach, and push time and again,
But its ten fold the things, that I've learned from them.

See a child can love with out reason or doubt,
And not question faith or what life's about,
They can look with pure heart and share what they feel
And not care who's watching when in prayer they kneel.

A child can laugh, look at all things that are good,
Yet shrug off the things that are not understood.
Would it be wrong of me to learn from them?
When judging the actions of others or friends.

Its seems that loved ones lost on the way,
Another appears to help me on my way.
For everything negative that happens you see,
God provides life, love and kindness to me.

So looking back at the question at hand
Its now I can say that I understand.
The past is the past and it must remain
Through God's grace, it's "the future I'll change."
