If id only known then ....

On bended knee, Dear God I pray ...
What happened to my yesterday ?
What was once the future is now long in the past.
Father time sneaks up on you and races by fast.
And day after day as the time passes by ,
Sometimes with no laughter or a moment to cry.  
As tbe sun goes down,  then here comes the dawn.  
Days become years and to soon its all gone.  
And we often don't see it until its too late.
All the moments we wasted so clueless to fate.
How blindly we wandered and to soon we lost track..
All the time that we lost and can never get back.
All those days way back when , we had youth and were free..
Although we were blind and too stupid to see.  
Now as we're aging its so hard to forget.
Dear Lord my whole life is so full of regret.  
And now my son is all grown and my daddy is dead...
And I cannot escape all the thoughts in my head.  
If only id have listened , all those years ago ...
Maybe itd be different now ...
But ill never know !
