Would Have, Should Have, Could Have, Ought To

Would Have, Should Have, Could Have, Ought To

Simplicity is best.

Take away the hurried, worried scurrying unrest

The bustle the hustle to get through the grind

The recklessness and turmoil of these modern times.

Gotta get done, gotta go here gotta go there

I'll see you everywhere.

do the laundry, stop the kids from fightin

please the boss, keep the marriage ignited

do for others rather than self

go to the gym work out for your health.


be perfect be good be everything all the time

keep all the negative emotions under wraps

your face should be sublime.

should of, could have, ought to, have to needed to wish i would have

i could have done it if i tried.


where do we

 STOP

because the hands of time won't

when can we pause

between the needs and the wants.

where do we live our lives breathing in deeply the air.

loving our children up

touching our spouse's hair.

whispering I love you

i am so glad to be alive
