The Past

Could have avoided the past!
Just remember what happened last?
The harsh words spoken,
Or the hearts broken:
Acting like an imp -
When it could have been a nymph!

Out in life's column
To make myself ever so solemn
The time, the impression, words that failed me;
But ever so much the friend to be -
Here when I am in need...
To be a friend indeed!

The time lost could never be gained,
Life, as it is, untamed!
Learnt quite a few things -
How to pull the strings!
If not the past, the present can be set right:
Leading to a future that is bright!
