If I Could

I might add to this later but I wanted to get the thought down before it flew away and was lost forever

If I could roll back the years


And return to yesterday


I know I’d like to change some things,


do them a different way.


But days lived out make up the past


That’s how it always seems


And only what we do today


Creates tomorrow’s dreams.

Powerful poem, with those wise and inspirational last 2 lines!

"And only what we do today
Creates tomorrow’s dreams."

Brevity becomes you, Lonny... you pack words with a hundred flights of fancy and always give me pause. It's lovely to indulge in then, but so exciting to wonder and discover what if and what will. I'm glad you got this out there. I shall close my evening with it. Lovely! katy xox.

Yes! By all means capture the thought while it is
in existence...for the thoughts of poets are as fleeting
as time.
I liked this one a lot, Londis!
