Could have
Should have
Would have
But I didn't, and I can't go back.
The way back
Is barred,
The door to yesterday
Locked and bolted
Tight and secure.
No prying fingers
Can find their way
Back to tomorrow.
No matter how hard they try.
Take could have
Would have
Should have
Toss them far into the sea
And pray
They wash up
On some distant
Deserted shore.
Never to be found again.
Could have
Brings pain.
Should have
brings sorrow
And didn't brings
Unspeakable anguish.
Let's send them
Now quickly
We've no need of them.
Not now.
And not ever.

I could have not said that this is great. Then I would have regretted that I didn't do something I should have.
Deb, I would like to sit on one of those rocks with you and watch the ocean and sky.
Could have , should have, would have-all regretful statements that we can no longer do anything about. Well said.
A lot of folks (including this writer), struggle mightily with the fact life doesn't come with a Crtl-Z.
That beer commercial of years ago was right. "You only go around once."
wow. great stuff!
Happy Easter. Word of caution. If you see large pink bunnies this year don't mistake them for the pink elephants :)!
