When all is said and done

If I had my time again

If I had my time again

Would I do the things I did?

I’m not really sure,

But one is for certain

They cannot be retrieved

And we keep coming back for more.

♦️♦️♦️♦️

And in my darkest moments

Am I filled with deep regret

For all the things I should have done

But forced myself to forget?

I’m not really sure,

If I had my time again.

♦️♦️♦️♦️

One thing is for certain

Life can be a bitch

No pathway is straightforward

What’s done cannot be undone

Live life to the fullest

When all is said and done.

♦️♦️♦️♦️

Regrets are something we can do without

The past is just the past

Spend more time looking to the future

That’s how you make your life last

Embrace the love around you

When all is said and done.

♦️♦️♦️♦️

Till next time,

Calvin

    I love this. Doing what we have has led us exactly to where we are, one single change could cause a major shift and I don't think I'm interested in that myself.

    Very good, this makes me think and at first I thought I wouldn’t do the same? Then I thought yes I would because doing my life that way gave me my beautiful daughters and grandchildren. I was made who I am by my mistakes everything was maybe planned for us all. My children where my bonus in life so you got me thinking today Calvin 💙💙💙

  • Yes, move on & make the most of every day.
