No Backspace Key

As I sit down at the computer of life,

I'm bound to make some mistakes.

I try to erase what I put,

But there is no backspace key.

I use the arrows to relive the past,

But there is no delete key.

So I must remember,

That there is no key,

To erase the mistakes I make.

But i can go forward,

And make the difference.

Because it doesn't matter how you start off,

But how you finish counts the most.

Metaphorically well written and draws the reader to delving ponder, sincere and sentimental, I think the idea brings the inent to life in a way most can relate to. Great job

I really like this because it rings with the truth. People
do try to right their wrongs, but all they do is focus
on the past and not move forward into the future.
I do like this.

So true my friend... you can't erase them but what you can do is learn from them and go on to do the best you can remembering you are human and mistakes are part of life... it's what you do after them that matters like taking responsibility and learning from them.

This is why I love your poetry Pepper, you always teach me a valuable lesson and something that I can take and apply to my own life. Thank you very much.

That is quite an interesting way of looking at life. I really like the message behind it. The one I interpreted anyway. :) Wonderful job!!
