Rewind


As I sit here
I am thinking
about all of the things I could have
done differently
and all of the things I could have
changed...
if only life had a rewind button!
So many things I wish I had
or could get back...
Memories I will always cherish
but that are no longer in my life.
So many promises broken and feelings
unreturned...
if only life had a rewind button!
Everyone makes mistakes and wishes
they could turn back time;
some more than others.
There is nothing I can do
but look on to the future
and bigger and better things.

If only life had a rewind button!
