One cannot help but look far behind
at all the mistakes and failures made.
There's also good times for me to find
to cherish before my days begin to fade.

Not everyone can manage to be perfect
we all make our fair share of mistakes.
Days do turn out better than we predict
those days are rare, so look out for fakes.

Good times never last, neither does the bad
as everything ends; both a blessing and curse.
The thought might make one happy or sad
yet it's the truth even though it's perverse.

No one wants life to the end, call it quits
so enjoy it all, both the misses and hits.
