If I were to compare the things that I’ve done right

To the things where I’ve failed

Then the failures would come out on top.

But there has been more I’ve attempted when the chances arose

Than those, I ignored and did not.



To look back, to assess, to judge what was I

Is an impossible task to attempt.

As decisions were based on only what I knew

Not prejudiced by future contempt.



To have assessed the future with only that present eye

Demanded wisdom beyond my grasp,

But I tell you truly as I stand here today

It would still be to my heart that I would I clasp.
