I hear people say
or is it just in movies?
if I had it to do over
I wouldn't change a thing
not me
so many things
that I'd do differently
given the chance
but we all know
the only chance is now
yet there are moments
in any life
that's not cut short
when time circles back
and what we'd thought
was gone forever
shows up again
though in a new
and different form
it's as if the work
of making whole
were part of life's design
part of her ongoing effort
to surprise us
