VIEWING

If ere I wished to view some roads where a lot of mistakes were

done.

I would have to walk a thousand miles to see all seventeen

thousand, fourty one.

To find some more I would visit many people, still full of anticipation.

And after talking to them, would need an extended vacation.



If I were to sit and write my thoughts that were not very nice.

Years and years could pass by and I would be filled with strife

What am I trying to say in this somewhat mixed up verse?

If you view yourself in your life of sin, then you are the one who is cursed.



Don't look back on your mistakes, not a thing you can undo.

And if you could, how do you know it may have

helped learn a lesson new.

The roads we walked are filled with things that we felt were a disaster.

But the truth of it could be,they show us the many

things we now can master.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem for myself mostly for a reminder of how I am to view past mistakes.
