HIndsight

Can you fathom the you of yesterday.
Do you see through the eyes of those around you.
The emotional impact of choices you've made.

What does it mean to understand another.
As such is the nature of stepping into another's shoes.

Do you feel the pain of those you hurt.
Can you feel the bruises you've inflicted upon another.
The memory footprint you've left with all you've touched.

For what have you to show at life's end.
Needless are the goals of personal grandeur.

Can you step beyond yourself to see the world.
Do you know what it is to view the world.
The same picture is viewed from multitudes of individuality.

Why does one birth into a world to die.
Another memory we add to the grand picture of existence.

There are days we mourn our choices.
Do we need not make the choices instead.
Can we truly grasp everything when all is done and said.
