I've made mistakes,
More than I care to remember,
I'm the only one
That I can blame,
I began making them
The year that I was born--43 years ago
In December.
My intentions,
Where always, to do good,
But somehow it always backfired,
Someone always got hurt -
Usually me!
I think it's the way
That I was built and wired.
God knows how hard I always tried,
But I never could get it right,
Selfish people's darkness
would always drown my sunshine
and steal my daylight.
I never wanted to hurt a soul,
But I only had two choices:
Make someone else happy--and be miserable!
Or,
Make choices,
So that I may be happy--and become invisible!
I was never a bad person - On the contrary,
I was too good!
The biggest mistake I ever made,
Was not doing what I wanted -
What I knew, I should.
The moral of this little story
Is quite simple to understand...
Be a kind, good-natured human,
But don't live your life on demand!
I would love to say
That I have no regrets,
But I can't lie to anyone,
Or to myself;
You see, my heart...
It never, ever, forgets.
~ I'm slowly learning how to forgive myself
for not getting everything right,
I've had help from my precious children,
And from my man...
'Cause, having them, means...
That I got the most important part right!
