When All Is Said And Done Poem by Christine A Kysely

There comes a time...
There comes a time...
When all is Said and Done
There is nothing more to say or do
All the races have been run.

When all is Said and Done
There's no more music to be played
No more dances to be danced
No more gifts to give away.

When all is Said and Done
There's nothing more to lose
There is nothing more to say or do
It's time to just move on.

When all is Said and Done
There is nothing more to say
Everything has already been said
It's time to move on beyond today.

When all is Said and Done
There is nothing more to do
Everything that could be done
Has already been done
In about as many ways.

When all is Said and Done
There's nothing more to say or do
You can't go back and change the past
Moving forward is all you can do.

When all is Said and Done
All you can do is turn the page
Don't think about the 'Could Have Beens'
Don't get caught in that gilded cage.

When all is Said and Done
You need to find the strength to carry on
Things might be just how you thought they'd be
But the future can still be won.
