C'est La Vie Poem by Jarid Miller

I've gotten over depression. Gotten over strife.
But one thing I can't get or take back in this life.

A word after it's said. Spoke what's in my head.
Regret what I did. At any cost I got ahead.

I've fought the good fight. Have clear view in sight.
But two things I can't get or take back in this life.

A word after it's said. Trust after it's lost.
Betrayed and both cheated. Anything at its cost.

Listen,

You can be on top of the world. Flying high as a kite.
But three things you can't get or take back in this life.

The moment after it's missed. A word after it's said.
The time after it's wasted. So stop and think ahead.

Four things you can't recover. No, I make that five.
Learn this lesson please. If you want to fly.

A stone after it's thrown. A word after it's said.
Time after it's gone. Imprint these in your head.

Trust after it's lost. An occasion after it's missed.
Learn this precious lesson. Fulfill your every wish.
