If I had known in days gone by
The things I know today, 
I’d have thought and felt and acted,
Sometimes, in different ways.
If yesterday’s tomorrows
Hadn’t come ahead of time,
If they’d waited ’till I’d learned some more
And had made it to my prime,
I would have done a better job
Of living properly;
If wisdom from today had been
More than a mystery.
And now I’d like to put a hold
On life’s full speed ahead,
Just until tomorrow brings me
Knowledge from up ahead.
Why, I could guarantee success!
I could live the perfect way!
Could I just get my tomorrows
To become my yesterdays!

Amen…this so reminds me of one of the past “Weekly Photo Challenge:regret”
I was so shocked at how many people posted they had no regrets in life…past present or otherwise…some didn’t even post a photo, opting to state this claim…I couldn’t help but comment: Anyone who claims they have “NO” regrets in life are either already dead…or God. But, then the whole Oprahdoxed religion of today sort of assumes themselves to be the latter I suppose… Keep up the wonderful ministering through your words here… I know they will reach, touch, and hopefully turn many to JESUS \o/
You know… Tomorrow never comes, at least if you wait for it 🙂 Good poetry.
You are SO RIGHT, because at the stroke of midnight, when we are just about to step into tomorrow, it has disappeared and become today. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
