Hindsight; a talent often not developed by most
Foresight; not often unused, yet its value priceless
Is there the ability to see ones future before it has arrived
Could it be a gift of one's talent
A view one should be able to believe in
It comes from the heart as it beats each time
Or is it nothing more than a well meant guess
Is it a way to bend without breaking
Often to be understood only as forced compromise
Looking straight at many of life's opportunities
Never to have any long lasting perception
Nature as it is experienced,
Having no forgiveness for any error
One's time not intended to be wasted
Only intended to be used wisely
