We all have a moment
maybe more than one
in our lives
where we hope

we wish
it could have gone differently.
Where we could go back
to that moment
with what we know now
and fix or mistakes,
our trials.
But me?
I wouldn't give up those moments.
For anything.
Because out trials,
they make us or break us.
Make us who we really are.
And thats what matters.

The author's comments:
We all know the feeling all to well of doing something stupid or making wrong choices that we wish we hadn't. This poem reflects my thoughts on how if we could change those moments.. would we really want to? Some of us would, without thought, but really it might change wore than just that moment in our lives.. It could change our very nature.
