Songs Not Sung

Looking back on all my memories
Flipping through catalogs of plans
And untold dreams
Peering down avenues of journeys
Never taken
Measuring each choice I made 
Against unchosen scenes

Curious of the life I would have led
If I had made my choices slower still
If, instead of rushing headlong down
This path I'm on
I'd thought more about the journey
And less of destination
Taken time to embrace each situation
And the many joys 
Each one brought along

I don't know if others look back as I do
Wondering what adventures those other
Paths could bring
It's not that I'm unhappy with
The life I'm living now
It's the pondering of the life
I didn't lead
It's humming to the songs
I didn't sing
