When I look in the mirror

When I look in the mirror I see
The world that was going to be
Then a sadness comes all over me
What was to be, will not now be

I wish we could have been what we planned
But life never seems to hear or understand
And so in life we live in the unplanned
And we go forward and we learn to understand

  2. No good looking back, is it? But here it isn't only what is behind us, it is what seems to be ahead. Ah, life can be so confusing. Nicely displayed in words.

  3. Well said. We never are who we planned to be, but lots of times we're better for it.
