It’s good to take a look at what might have been except it produces questions to which there are no answers.
“When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” — Yogi Berra.

Certainly keep in mind that you live in such a world where there an invisible controls, pressures, and limitation of options made available by Unjust entities; Some things are beyond our control. We can try to make the best of it. Think of the Jews born in Germany during world war II. See how limited their options were?

A very thoughful and thought creating poem, Thank you

Wow were you invading my mind this weekend, I felt like, no actually I had a talk with God, I wanted to know had I been good to people and was I a good person. I said if there is something wrong with my heart please show me what to do. Thank you for sharing, I loved it. My very talented friend.

Leonardo: You are dead on once again. As a black woman, I certainly know about societies limitations. I can’t equate my experiences with what the Jews suffered, but I definitely know about race and gender bias first-hand.

You never know until you try. And as they always say…”if at first you don’t succeed…try, try again.” OR “Better to have tried and failed then to never have tried at all.”

Hollywood: Or as someone once told me, “Shoot for the moon! Even if you miss, you’ll be among the stars.” Took me a while to step out and try, but there’s no stopping me now!

Your poem reminds me of these lines from William Stafford’s poem “Ask Me”: “Some time when the river is ice ask me mistakes I have made. Ask me whether what I have done is my life.”

That was a very inspiring poem! great work.

To look beneath the surface….if only…. I love the way you write. We must all search our soul every now and again. Be true to yourself as you appear to be, and other will see the same. It’s no wonder you have such a good following here. It appears that what you see is what you get. I like you. Lots.

Aldrin – I only know how to be me.
