Hands of Time
If I could turn back the hands of time
and once again have ago
I’d make decisions declined
fight pain and look to grow
I could avoid this very path
with its destination unknown
but maybe the new way I draft
would be within its zone
I could with knowledge be a trendsetter
in an attempt to get far away
but on a path I’d know no better
each minute each step I take
What I know of now won’t happen
so I’d be unprepared
as I wander an unknown mapping
I guess no better faired
Could I save friendships
avoid the heartache
or experience new splits
more pain that I take
If I go back I could change the route
but maybe not events
I’d have regrets I can’t remove
imperfections I can’t prevent
No wish to turn back hands of time
to correct that what bothers
I’d rather enjoy blessings of mine
and look for new with others
If I could go back
it would be only to relive
keeping the imperfect act
I’m thankful life did give
