You Can't Change the Past

by R. Brough Terry - Pisces

No matter how hard you try
You can't change the past
You can't say
"If only I'd done that differently..."
You didn't!
Trust has been lost
"If I could tell the future..."
You can't!
Lives have been taken
"I'd have surely gone to visit her..."
You didn't!
Mistakes have been made
"If I could do it over..."
You can't!
Hearts have been broken
"How did I know it was my last chance?"
You didn't!
Pain has been suffered
You can't change that
Don't try
No ifs
No buts
Do it right the first time
Move on with your life

Reason for writing:

    At the present time I dedicate this poem to the future because of the past.
