Title: If we are lucky

Poem: The spoken word once said, they say
cannot be taken back
and the written word, once read
can never be erased.
Our thoughts, although
they are our own
and our feelings belong
only to us.
We can think funny thoughts
or ones that make us cry,
of things to be done
and of friends gone by.
We can feel the love of our family
and love for our friends
and grief for words unspoken
or lines left unread.
These things we cannot undo
times past cannot be changed
so we go on and sometimes
if we are lucky
We forgive and forget...
