Back Button

Two buttons, forward and back, we have control of only one, the forward.

Push the back button
on your computer
you go back to where
you were
Life doesn't offer
this option
Going forward is the
only adoption

What awaits in the future
no one knows
which way the wind blows
It takes no guess
we will progress
The clock is on the wall
something or someone
will call
Either we'll be up or
we'll fall

Love stays on my mind
it makes living and
existing more kind
The devil always lurks
he's the collector of our perks
so he drums up the
fools, stupids and jerks
and every other evil thing
that works

God and the devil
controls the forward
and the back buttons
but neither will lift a finger
until we do the ringer
then comes the stinger
along with the anger
We'll travel back in our dreams
or either forward to
our monster screams

That's what we need, Grady, a good "Back Button" to escape our false steps. Or, we could enlist the aid of the gruesome, gaunt and ghastly Ed Daltons to clear away the trash in front of us - LOL

Wow! Emotional and wise thoughts, Grady! I still look forward to each day and my awakenings, but the back-button sure comes in handy for reminiscing of my youthful and more active days :o)
