Distant Thoughts

Distant Thoughts

If I had only took the time
Such subtle thoughts run through my mind
If I had planted seeds of hope
If I had listen to each word you spoke
If I had thrown caution to the wind
If I had my life to live again

Would seeds bloom dreams into reality
Would words give wisdom and inspire me
Would winds shift my path to a new destiny
The life I live what would it be

If I nourish my garden, is there still time
For things you’ve said are clear in my mind
Blow wind and reveal what I need to see
Lead me to the place designed for me
	
I sit and wonder I stare and gaze
Just how to escape this cloudy maze
If I had only lived as I was taught
These things would not be just a Distant Thought.
