Another "lost" one from June 8, 2007.

It's not funny looking back now,
On all the stupid thing I've done;
Some a foolish matter of greed,
Other I simply did for fun.

Whatever the silly reasons were,
All those things cannot be undone;
I am so sorry for what I did,
For I know that they all hurt someone.

The excuse of youth wasn't to blame,
Many were done as an adult;
The fault wasn't inexperience,
To blame it on those would be an insult.

To your very own intelligence,
I know you are nuch smarter than that;
So, I place the fault all on myself,
The face in the mirror looking back.

Young ones, don't do a single thing,
That may somehow hurt someone;
You will look back later in life,
And regret those things that you've done.

When another is hurt by a prank,
For that person, it's no fun at all;
Use the common sense God gave you,
You are the one who will make the call.

Be kind and loving in all you do,
Do what is right, take a firmer stand;
The welfare of all in this cruel world,
May one day rest in your own hands.

at the Hobo Railroad, Lincoln, NH

The trials and tribulations of youth. Some learn their lessons and remember them, others choose to forget until it is too late....

Be always safe,
Karen

When a person is young , they don't view the world the same as elders. They do make mistakes . Hope fully they can learn and become wiser. Looking back doesn't change it . The memories linger.........M

Paul, an excellent write full of wisdom & honesty. I'm sure most of us look back and wish we could take back some of the things we've done. Each verse speaks in a voice of sincerity.

Excellent, Paul, the power of not living in regret - correcting what we did in our youth - and passing on a legacy of wisdom - very well penned.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

This sounds like something written for me. I imagine most of us look back and wish we could change certain things we've done--I've been told that wish initself is a reflection of goodness and redemption.

You are too precious, Paul ... We've all done things we are not proud of in our youths and as adults ... We live and learn from it and never to repeat it again ... Your last stanza said it all, my friend ... Wonderfully written ...
