Better Insight Made It Right
The other day I was feeling a little down.
I did a self examination with a frown.
I found traces of romance on my heart.
The emotional scars that tore us apart.
Doors in the brain marked DO NOT ENTER.
Memories of me asking my mentor.
He said life is a series of experiences.
That bring emotions & inferior fences.
Some are heartwarming and precious.
Others are so bad, they depress us.
Become aware of all your feelings.
What led up to her leaving?
Could that result be changed
if caught early enough to refrain?
Dig deeper yet & you may find
many things that affect your mind.
Doors marked DO NOT ENTER
should be avoided said my mentor.
So, deeper still I went into my mind.
It was frightening some of the time.
A lot of ups and downs I found.
It is amazing I am still around.
I did note I was fairly good
at learning from it all, when I should.
When I finally finished, I felt a lot better.
Then, the mail came & there was your letter.
It was not a Dear John note, thank God.
It was a makeup letter, not a fraud.
I was ready to start over again.
I called you immediately, with a grin.
We made our apologies & started over.
I have much more insight, this time over.
She had done some soul searching too.
The result is a much improved me & you.
