Mistakes

Somewhere in a dream
exists the me I might have been
Someone good and kind
great of heart, and bright of mind

Somebody I hoped I'd be
but when I look back I can see
only things I've not done right
endless sins black as night

Living with regrets.
Living in despair.
Not trying to forget,
just longing to repair

Damage I cause in this world
wanting to spare my boys and girls
from mistakes made later on...
inevitably as life goes on...
