170. You Can't Get it Back

No refunds, no cash back
no two for one split
It's a one ticket journey
no u-turns, that's it

No recounts, no rewind
no instant replay
No chance to do over
or re-live this day

No recalls, no upgrades
no trade-in for you
Take care of the rental
you can't ask for two

One shuffle, one deal
and one throw of the dice
Play your hand like a winner
you can’t play it twice

Time passes and heeds not
the choices you make
By choice make the most
of the time that you take!

Commentary:
Arguments for reincarnation notwithstanding, it's generally agreed upon that this journey is not a practice run, but a one-time chance to get things right. So while you may have the time to review, rethink, revise, react, and remake your life from one day to the next, you don't have the option of getting back the time you lose in doing so! Dedicated to Christine S.
