If I Could Go Back 2

If I could go back,
I would follow my dream.
  I would take my time
And float downstream.

  I could make it right
When I was wrong.
  Where I was weak,
I could be strong.

  The times I told a lie,
I would tell the truth.
  I would give better 
Advice to our youth.

  I could choose love,
Instead of hate.
  I could start over, 
With a clean slate.

  I would save more,
Spend less.
  Where I did wrong,
I would confess.

  I would face my
Fears.
  I would dry my
Tears.

  I could steer clear
Of the bad guys.
  I could see the
Blessing in disguise.

  I would be more
Forgiving.
  I could really
Start living.

  I would hold
My temper.
  I would find 
My center.

    If I could go back,
I would treat life better.
   I could avoid,
That day that I met her.
