The Benefit Of HindsightA Poem by Lungile I MtsweniSelf-discovery and Introspection through themes that include hindsight, personal growth, love, relationships, faith and spiritualityVerse 1
I woke
up from the dream, reality hit me cold The
blush is gone, frozen time's grown old Looking
back on memories, the love and the pain And I
realize, hindsight's the only way to gain [Chorus]
See,
the benefit of hindsight, is a gift and a curse Shows
me what I could've done, also what I have traversed Through
the fire and the rain, I have grown, I have learned In the
benefit of hindsight, all that makes me yearn Verse 2
Now,
to the crush in my childhood I saw
it and I felt it but I feared to act on it With
all the lessons learned, readiness made me apt To
meet my queen, and stand a king Verse 3
The
stature of a queen, with eyes so bright Her
smile so friendly, her touch so warm Her
height so royal, her body so angelic Her
beauty so youthful, and she calls me Honey " Ohhh!! Verse 4
My
comfort in her presence, hers in my presence No
tension at all, It is meant to be easy It is
easy in silence, it is easy and tender She is
always in my mind, I am always in her heart Verse 5
As I strip
it all bare, so as to bear it all From
the top to the toe, I toast it all in all “To
the core of the truth, raising love et
honesty, As stayed
in the beauty, the beauty of history in my story her story" [Extended Chorus]
Learned
the benefit of history, the gist of hindsight A tool
so nifty, to navigate my future That I
miss not a step that I miss not a turn To the
point of my triumph, the bliss with my queen The
benefit of hindsight, is a gift of progress Shows
me what I could've done, but also what I've traversed Through
all trials and the glory, I've reflected, I have willed Yeah
the benefit of hindsight, is what makes me win Verse 6
"I
openly accept, that love's not just a flame, But a
choice to obey, to honour and sustain. In
mutual respect, we find our strength, Together
we stand, as king and queen at length." Verse 7 (concluding verse)
As I
stand with my queen, the manifest aide memoire to give credence unto God, I'm
grateful for temperance as always in patience. With
kindness understanding, fortitude and faith, In
knowledge and wisdom as vested in piety, Conferred
prophetically in poetry, As we
heal and prosper in spite of trials, Through
divine miracles, showing of the Spirit, our guide and leader, As we
strive to be the best of who we ought to be, While
united as family, as we stand as one, In
righteousness, order, and moral rectitude our bond forever sealed by the Spirit
of promise, The
holy Spirit of God. The
benefit of hindsight, is the Ancient of Days From
time immemorial, to the time so eternal Never
changing never flinching, just perfectly consistent So reflect,
know His will Chart
your course in obeisance To Him
and only Him, and you’ll always be a treasure To Him
and your family In
reflecting be fearless to adapt and embrace That
in hindsight: Selah: The Ancient of Days It
ain’t about your past but your eternal future © 2025 Lungile I MtsweniAuthor's Note
