Or…what would Silverstein say?
Long distance conversation with one of my sisters this morning brought up all kinds of stuff from our past including decisions we should have made but didn’t and decisions we did make and shouldn’t have. Then she recited this poem by Shel Silverstein
WOULDA-COULDA-SHOULDA
All the Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
Layin’ in the sun,
Talkin’ ’bout the things
They woulda coulda shoulda done…
But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
All ran away and hid
From one little Did.
In these crazy times – reflection is good, I think, but regrets should be tossed away, in my humble opinion, to concentrate on the “dids”!
VOTE, WEAR A MASK AND BE SAFE!
KAY’S NOTES: Falling Up is a 1996 poetry collection by Shel Silverstein with this poem.
