The Five Minute Friday keyword this week is ALMOST.
I almost had a future,
I almost had a life
except for one slipped suture
beneath a surgeon's knife,
and all the rest just fell apart,
and only dreams remain.
I'm left as master of the art
of coping with the pain.
I guess I should be furious
at that mistake which went unseen,
but I'm not even curious
'bout everything that might have been,
and I turn away because
it's futile, that which never was.
Four minutes.
I admire your attitude towards what could've been!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a knack for taking the struggles and putting them to meter. I wonder if your rhymes have been made better by your difficult circumstances, or if you would be just as diligent rhyming out happy and easy circumstances. Your insights are deep.
ReplyDeleteyou're right. There's no in wasting time on the what if of the past and just focus on the now and the future. FMF5
ReplyDeleteWise words - there's no sense letting the speculations of what might have been ruin the life we DO have. Moving on is harder than it should be sometimes, but God's always got something good for us! Praying special blessings for you today!

ReplyDeleteNo matter what you're hit with, you always have such a good attitude. I have no doubt that one day you will hear, "well done, my good and faithful servant."
