I wish I'd have done the things
I should have, when I should have.

It's a simple but highly thought provoking piece! A perennial angst to know how others rate us will certainly ward us off many an evil
A lesson for all.Life is an eternal school for man.But it is never late until it is over.
Hope you will have good marks, as I read from your poems, seem to discover a gold heart..as long as we dont harm and try our best to do good no matter what is the reason for, then any Kind of God let's hope will give some better marks.. if that is what we want..But until then, I plea for the chance to play as goddes(lol) and give you best of best 10's for all the poems I had seen coming from your sorrow or happy living times.Thanks for share, I'll have some of your poems on my favorites if you dont mind, please.
it does'nt work on marks but on trying to have a good heart no matter how late! i would like you to read my poem 'i have a friend'if you can spare the time. its just 4 lines. john
Certainly you get hundred in the life-school.Jerry, life only teach you about life?
A very thought provoking piece Jerry, if only we all keep our final score cards in mind the 'should have, could have, would have routine' would have long ceased to worry us...Great write
At every crossroad there is a choice to be learnt from. I think I have som poems you would like read.
As the saying goes: an unexamined life is not worth living… of course this can cause much angst. A nice poem.
You would certainly have scored very high as you have already realized in this life what you should or ought to have done. Very neatly and nicely presented poem. arya
This touches my soul, truly, a brilliant examination done with simplicity.
Well penned, no matter if you wished to be done like that, looking back :)
'But life is a learning process. Aren't we all students? I wonder what my marks will be at the end? ' The ending line is definitely thought-provoking!
In the school of life, we'll be students til the day we die. Looking back we can learn from the past - from the decisions we made, the paths we chose to follow...in amongst the regrets and unfulfilled dreams what remains is the person we have become - as for scores - top marks I'd say...Justine xx
Life as a learning process and we as students. I'm holding that excellent thought. t x
Were all students I agree. We never stop learning. We learn something every day. I like to think that no one has ever seen it or know it all. Until the day they die, because that is the life they've lived. A really fine poem. Bien!
