It Could Have Gone

It could have gone

That I didn’t get to right all those wrongs

It could have gone.

⏲

It could have gone

That I was never able to say hello to my inner lion,  never grow strong

It could have gone.

⏲

It could have gone

That I never found my wings, and was never reborn

It could have gone.

⏲

It could have gone

That I never got to meet all the wonderful people in my life, of whom I have become so fond

It could have gone.

⏲

It could have gone

That I lived without thinking, or thought without living, and never looked beyond

It could have gone.

⏲

It could have gone

That I never got to experience peace in my life, or to to live this long

It could have gone.

⏲

It could have gone

That I never got to write and sing and dance to all those songs

It could have gone.

⏲

It could have gone

That I never stopped worrying about what people thought of me, my life, and how it was adorned

It could have gone.

⏲

It could have gone

That I never learned to meditate

and the same old same old problems and issues continued to daunt

It could have gone.

⏲

It could have gone

That sorrows drowned me, and made me hopelessly sad and withdrawn

It could have gone.

⏲

It could have gone

That all those times I lost my way

I could never be found

It could have gone.

⏲

It could have gone

That I couldn't adapt to changes in the wind, and my ship ran aground

It could have gone.

⏲

It could have gone

That I never got to strengthen important bonds.

It could have gone

⏲

And I am happy

So happy

That I lived this long

And I am happy

So happy

That I became this strong

And I am happy

So happy

That I was able to right those wrongs

And I am happy

So happy

That I got to strengthen those important bonds

And I am happy

So happy

For everyone and everything in my life

that came along

I am happy

So happy

Coz it could have gone

It could have gone

You know how it could have gone.

⏲

I have much to be thankful for.

And it is well,

It is well with my soul.

The Horatio Spafford song, It Is Well With My Soul, has been a source of inspiration to me at many different points in my life. You can experience the same inspiration by listening to it here.
