Sitting here alone
on the bench
of life
like a seasoned pro
watching love
skip to and fro
from the sidelines
sometimes I look back
through tear-blurred eyes
retracing
rethinking
reliving
refeeling
what if I knew then
what I know now?
my regrets festering
pummeling me
in an endless loop
would I have
pushed away
pushed back
pushed in harder
deeper
hotter
farther
if I knew then
what I know now?
Not a chance.
He had already
written my steps
for yesterday
today
and tomorrow
so I'm still
winning
even though I'm
B̳E̳N̳C̳H̳E̳D̳.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:11-13 NKJV
