If lessons are learned by mistakes that we do,
I'd prefer to be ignorant as though I not knew.
The things I must do and the feelings I know
Have become a difficult baggage to tow.
Eons have come and epochs have faded,
Old Father Time left me shaken and jaded.
If I knew back then, what I know now,
Of living life I'd need never ask how.
Some things are hazy, with a pleasant glow,
And at times of rest they come out and show. . .
But I was young and chaste way back when,
And I wish I were back there time and again,
I would have held good times as a vise
And now I'd be counted as one who is wise.
If ignorance really and truly is bliss---
Those are the lips I should have kissed
But the passing of time has only left questions
And the agony of learning life's cruel lessons . . . .
