LOOKING BACK

Some say be kind to others,
I've thought this from the start.
How can we be kind enough,
When they fill us with pain not love.

Yet if we had the time,
Would any of us,
Remembering the past,
Choose to hit rewind.

With all our idiosyncrasies,
If we did erase our past.
Could we truly appreciate,
Who we believe we are.

If I could rewind time,
Looking back at the end of life.
If somebody asked;
Who would you rather be,
Of all the people I would choose,
I'd have to say me.

Oh I like this! Yes, being you will always be the best way to go, I say. I don't think I've ever desired to be someone else... not that I think I'm great stuff or anything, but being someone else wouldn't be me! Here's where my thoughts went this one :) Thanks.
