I could have gone for a morning walk
but I just stayed in my bed.
I might have seen the sunrise
but I dreamed a dream instead.

I could have run a marathon
but I’m a bit slow on my feet.
I might have won a medal
if there weren’t so many to beat.

I could have painted a masterpiece
if I had the motivation
I could’ve been known far and wide
but I lacked the application.

I might have been a master chef
as I’m one who’s out to dine.
I could have prepared a delicious meal
but I just ran out of time.

I could have done a lot of things
but I have a plan instead.
I’ll just sit here with my cup of tea
and perform them in my head.
