Life Lessons Learned

This is a poem I wrote while I was reflecting back on my own life.

As I lay here on this sunny Spring night, 

I look back on all the things of my life, 

Whether they are good or bad, 

The things in the past are set like an ancient statue.

Sure, there are things I wish I could redo, 

But, I have come to learn over these years, 

We cannot live wishing we could change, 

For if we did, it would eat us alive.

The future is here for a reason, 

It is the ability to learn from our mistakes, 

To make better of what we have done wrong, 

It is like a flower that dies and then re-blossoms back to life.

As we are all human beings, 

Here on this mesmerizing place we call home, 

There is no such thing as a perfect life, 

Each and every day is a journey, a lesson on what is wrong and what is right.

I agree.
"There is no such thing as a perfect life,
Each and every day is a journey, a lesson on what is wrong and what is right. "
A wise person don't repeat the same mistakes. He learn and he becomes better. No weakness in the excellent poem for wisdom and common sense.
