an eraser to my life,
I would have
the perfect parents,
perfect children,
perfect spouse.
I would be
the perfect Mom.
But then
would I become
more than I am -
or less, for losing
strength won
through heartaches?
And what if I
accidentally
erased a single
moment of joy?
No possible gain
could justify
such loss.
Poet’s Notes: If only foresight were 20/20, we could make good decisions all the time and proceed through life with a minimum of regret. As tempting as that sounds, I have to wonder if erasing our mistakes would really make us better people.
