Wish I Could Turn Back Time
A Silent wish to reverse the pendulum’s swing
Oh, how I wish I could turn back time,
To rewrite the chapters of this life of mine.
To undo mistakes and regrets I’ve known,
And carve a different path, a new story to be shown.
If I could rewind the hands of the clock,
I’d mend broken hearts and heal the wounds that mock.
I’d mend the bridges that I let burn,
And sow seeds of kindness at every twist and turn.
To cherish moments I took for granted,
To mend the relationships that became slanted.
To hold onto love that slipped away,
And make amends for words I didn’t say.
But alas, time marches forward, never still,
Leaving behind memories, both bitter and sweet, at will.
Though I cannot change what has come to pass,
I can learn and grow, ensuring wisdom will amass.
For in the lessons learned from mistakes and strife,
Lies the opportunity to shape a better life.
To embrace the present with gratitude and grace,
And make every moment, a cherished embrace.
So, while I yearn to turn back the hands of time,
I’ll embrace the journey, both sublime and prime.
For in this moment, I have the power to choose,
To create a future where regrets are diffuse.
And though I cannot rewrite what has been done,
I’ll treasure the lessons and let my soul run.
With newfound wisdom and a heart set free,
I’ll embrace the present and the person I can be.
