Peering through the haze of a looking glass,

Scrutinizing the life I watch rush past.

~

Questioning choices is easy in hindsight,

Without benefit of knowing what’s wrong or what’s right.

~

The consequence of actions whether good or bad,

Must be accepted since thats all that we had.

~

Shy of vision to see into the future,

We’re left to chance of nature and nurture.

~

Through failure and success our horizons expand,

Experience alone not parlor tricks or slight-of-hand.

~

Moulds who we are for better or worse,

In this life that we live that at best is quite terse.

~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
