RISKING AND HOPING

You can do your best
Yet be filled with regrets
At the outcome of events
You couldn't prevent

You can't take life for granted 
It happens hard. 
Like you covered the bases
But life does not play fair. 

You can be blameless 
Yet hold yourself to blame
Imagine what you could have done better
To even the game. 

Found myself vindicated 
But still carried guilt 
Caught myself a lucky break
Was found beyond reproof. 

We learn from lessons on how to live
Yet take risks we can't even believe! 
It's human nature in a nutshell 
Risking and hoping that things end well.

But again, you can do your best
Yet be filled with regrets
At the outcome of events
You couldn't prevent...
