Poem Artwork

There will be no looking back,
The pages have been turned.
There will be no going back.
My bridges have been burned.

Feeling a bit bewildered and unsure,
Of what may lie in store.
Temptation, elation, frustration, provocation,
Can there be room here in my heart,
For loving any more?

We all have doubts sometimes.
The trick is not to let them get in the way.
Try to save your worries for another day.
There will always be time to ponder,
Should I have just stayed right here,
Or gone on over yonder?

The best we can hope for,
All our whole life long,
Is that we were very right,
Or only semi-wrong.

We do the best we can at the time, that's all we can do. You make me think Walt.

I like your philosophy " very right or only slightly wrong." I like this concept. It brings a smile to my lips. You speak volumes in these few words, but words that remind us to live life in the moment and do the best we can.

God bless you. Kathy

perhaps, we can hope being both very right and semi-wrong at once ...

the human heart has immense capacity for love Walt -- for we are fashioned in the image of our creator, where all love originates -- faith is the light that will illuminate hope and permit us to see that love is possible -- move ahead with steps of confidence my friend -- peace and love-- Jon Michael

There's always room in the heart to give and receive love. Best not to dwell on the past or worry about the future. The best moments of our lives are here and now.

Love & Light,
Joseph

Life is full of cross-roads and we make our choices dependent on literally where we're at at the time: it all depends on circumstance, timing and previous experience how the chips will fall. We all know that hindsight and retrospect always love to chide, but they are very hard task-masters and our overall judgement is usually governed by them. Perhaps the question is, if, in the exact same position once again, would the same decision still be taken? If yes, then it will be very right; the notion of "semi-wrong" seems to stem from the benefit of hindsight to me! Lovely tight verses for a perennial, open-ended conundrum. xx

I know I've been wrong and semi wrong so I identify with this wise poem of yours Walt. I know one thing about you. You're writings are getting better and better. Why am I not surprised? I think you're happier now, with yourself and there is absolutely NOTHING holding you back.
Blessings and love,
Susan

Walt, sometimes it's really okay to be only semi-wrong. Now about the sunrises in Key West,,,,If you never go to bed you can see them..ponder that one bat man!

Much peace, love, and light,

Sometimes we just have to follow our own hearts and march to our own beat if for nor other reason but our own salvation...
