Reflection On Missed Chances Poem by David Harris

Reflection On Missed Chances

Rating: 5.0


With every dream we have,
there is a dozen we leave behind.
In this world, there is no space.
There is no place,
for things Impossible to achieve,
and we forget them as time goes on,
along with our missed chances.
We do what we can;
with whatever skills we’ve got,
hoping it is enough,
to see us through.
Maybe it is and maybe it isn’t.
It is something we will never know.

Do I detect just a hint of regret in this one? I sincere reflection of the process of change and the making of choices. We must always have something to look forward to - perhaps this is more important than whether we achieve our dreams or not. A thoughtful piece. I enjoyed it. love, Allie xxxx
