If we journey into the past
and correct our mistakes,
will it disrupt the present?
Did those obstacles
help us jump higher or
did those roadblocks
put us on a safer path?
We’ve met people
who helped shaped
our lives into
what they are today.
We’ve built relationships
in the most unlikely places.
We’ve learned from
all our experiences
—good or bad.
What we thought
were mistakes were
all part of the plan.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of participating in the inaugural Soda City Poetry Festival. Check out my reading here.
