#246 Back to the Past

Man, it's the super power of which we'd all boast

The one day-to-day that we'd value the most

What if, rather than being super strong or super fast

You could step back in time and alter the past?

Currently, you take a retrospective intellect

But with respect can make no effect

On the mistakes you made, the time you mispoke

Well don't be afraid, lets go for broke

Because now you have a retroactive fact-of-the-matter

Way to be active in the past, change the latter

Just be careful, heed my warning

It's good to let the day refresh each morning

I tell you what, if I had this power

I'm not sure I'd ever live more than an hour

Sometime the past is better left lived

Sometimes there's no use in regretting what you did

I think a window to the past, means I'd only every stare that way

I'd never plan, only try and redo every each day

And I realise, I would not be able to handle this great responsibility

Instead, I'll just do what I can with the time that has been given to me
