The Best Of Me
If I had the chance
to relive my life
I would undo
every error I made
like knots in my laces
then my new life
would be regret free
and after all the corrections
I would choose you again
cause you were always
the best of me
Photo of my wife Allie taken by me.
The one thing that never needs correction is true love. Very sweet poem, Andrew.

I always said I would want to relive my life if I could know what I know now. But, that isn’t possible because I wouldn’t be the person I am now without those experiences and making those mistakes to be able to learn and grow from them.
