Choices

If you could live your life again, Knowing all about the pain, Would you? If you could live that time once more, Knowing all the strife you bore, Would you? If you could go back one more time, Knowing you'd touch on all life's slime, Would you? If you could do it for one last dance, Knowing it would be your last chance, Would you? If you go back and change your life, Knowing there would be no more strife, Would you? If you went back and changed just one thing, Knowing it would change everything, Would you? We can remember the past and make it last, We cannot change a thing that is in the past, We can choose when and where to draw the line, We make our future on the bricks of the past We can make it better, we can make it last. We choose for ourselves what we should do. Knowing these things,of your past and present, Would you? © Dave Timperley 29 July 2016
