If I Could Do My Life Over-
If I could do my life over,
Guess what, I don’t think I can.
My life would change most tragically,
Leaving me a lonely man.
For every action has an effect,
A ripple within its time.
If I were to do it over with change
My poetry just wouldn’t rhyme.
For it would be so dark and sad
Because I wouldn’t be me, now.
I’d be some other version, you see,
life would be different some how.
My family would have never been.
My wife, I wouldn’t have met.
My children, well, don’t get me started.
This question, I’ll have to forget.
You see, I like my life just as it is;
The family, my friends, these times.
If I were to have been a different man
You wouldn’t be reading this rhyme.
