Do You Ever Look Back?

Sometimes we look back upon our lives It seems the older that we get We think about the things we've missed The things we have not done yet. We look back on the ones we love Questions that stick in our minds So much we never understood But now it's far behind. Would we have done things differently What if we could do it over again? But we cannot climb into their minds So I don't think our actions are a sin. We try to do the best that we can As we raised each kid to an adult It is never easy, that's for sure As teens they want to revolt. Should we ask them questions now? Before it is too late? There are times I'm kind of sorry I'm nearly at heaven's gate. Does looking back do any good? Sometimes I get into a state Is it possible now to change things? Before it is too late?
