Looking Backwards

by Joan Serratelli

If I could go back
and do it over again
I would want to change certain things
but you cannot re-write history
you can only speculate
and learn from your mistakes

Those who forget history
are demed to repeat it

Hinesight is always 20/20
But I do not have a magic wand
things are what
they are
My chrystal ball
is in the shop

I do know what lies ahead
I can only hope
that I have gained
wisdom

The same 200 people
keep running through
my life
