every step, no going back

Every step I have taken
Has been made while knowing
That I can't take back anything
Whether out of displeasure
Or of being mistaken
The step exists
However defiant we might be
However much we long to resist
There is only the moment
And we can't go back
There is some reason to be content
Might we act even more boldly
When you know that
You can't die more than once
You can't be ashamed for not acting
You can only know by doing
And life is better when lived
Than to measure the experience
How others do it
Better to look back upon the footprints
And note how they look in the sand
Being aware of our limits
But proud how we've acted
Loving and being kind
The most important task
