If Only

? If only If only,I had the chance to start my life over again.. I would take another path from beginning to the end.. If only,I had listened to what my dad had taught.. Never off path would i stray,in all,integrity be sought.. If only,I had made choices with the right state of mind.. My life wouldnt be filled with regrets of the worst kind.. If only,Things went my way in this world i live and play.. Ther`d be no stress to deal with,i`d be happy every day.. If only,You were honest and had been a faithful wife.. You and I would be together enjoying a fruitful life.. If only,I had left a minute sooner being early to arrive. I would have found you just in time,you still would be alive. If only,I told you "I love you "instead of"I hate your guts" Knowing i`ll never get to say those words to you again, really drives me nuts. If only,I took the time each day to show you how I feel. Maybe the cards I have in my hand would be a better deal. If only,I `d see my hand in a different way.. Realize it`s not the hand your delt but how its laid to play. So Ive come to a decision I`m no longer living in the past .. No longer a prisoner to the words, If only I`m finally free at last.

Nice self-introspective and self expressive thoughts, mark

I understand your "only if" . It's good that you put down the bat you use to beat yourself. Only if I could. ernie
