Potpourri How To Live With Your Mistakes
The string of hearts across your past
Like stones across the grass
Leave their mark of dates and times
Like those in the marble and brass
Indelibly etched in your history
with scars upon your heart
Nothing can be erased
back from where you start
Each cut and wound, each memory
still weeps and bleeds anew
Every time you reminisce
And the pain stays with you too
The children you have left behind
Will never stay there long
Their memory will belong to you
To tell you what was wrong
You should have stayed to watch them grow
You should have loved them more
But there was no way to know
What you had in store
So now you cry and wonder why
You did the things you did
And when you feared what life gave you
Why you ran and hid
You loved someone a lot of times
And things didn't go too well
Confusion made your choice for you
And turned your world to hell
But don't give up on everything
The things that turn our right
Are worth the living hell you've lived
The love is worth the fight
The scars are there and the wounds won't heal
And you'll still feel the pain
'Cause love is like the flowers that grow
After the storms and rain
