Antoine Redd Poet I do not know?

If I Could Be a Child Again

If I could be a child again,

 what would I do.

I would right all my wrongs, and make myself new.

To be a child again,

what a wonderful thing.
 
To relive lessons learned and make the world sing.

If I could be a child again,

 with what I know now.

What a difference I could make,


because now I know how.



 I would tell all the parents,

the teachers,and coaches,

to prepare us for tomorrow,

 for the future approaches.

Monitor these children in all that they do,

so that they may be a light for me and for you.

If I could be a child again,

 I would tell all my peers,

don't live for the moment,

 but plan for the years.

I would talk to all people,

 the good and the bad,

 and take constructive criticism,

 without getting mad.

I would tell all my friends,

 to idle their throttles,

respect their parents and teachers,

for they are role models.

If I could be a child again,

 in this day and age,

 life would be my pulpit,

 the world my stage.
