No turning back.
by la_spice @ Sunday, Jun. 15, 2008 - 13:18:11

There's no point dwelling on what might have been. Life is far too short.

Perhaps it's because today is Fathers Day and the fact that my dad was only four years older than I am now when he died that I find myself in reflective mood. Who knows.

Tomorrow is another day - here's to a bright tomorrow.

Past Not So Perfect

I was part of your life
But no longer the present
We don’t have a future
Life isn’t as pleasant

We loved with an ache
And you sent me flowers
But tomorrow we know
Can never be ours

We’ve lost what we had
It will never come back
The rosy future we saw
Is now turning black

The past wasn’t perfect
We knew from the start
But we did what we did
With a love in our heart

A past not so perfect
A present bestowed
A future without you
Is lonely and cold

Hug

I know what you mean one of my uncles died when he was 7 years older than I am. It makes you wonder about whether it is worth planning for the future.

But that was them and you and I are not if you see what I mean.

Yes I know - but every once in a while it makes you stop and evaluate.

Thanks for the hug! :)

A lovely poem packed with emotion. I must just say that there aren't any certainties in this life or the next . David

My remark was just to be complete the scenario in case we were to reappear upstairs ! David

I wasn't aware of any substantial disagreement David.

These reflective moods do seem to get more frequent the older we get don't they? Xx

Possibly - I've written three reflective poems today!

I think I need a glass of wine :yes:
