If I Had One Wish
If ignorance were bliss
And I had one wish.
I would unlearn all that I know.
I would play as a toddler
with my granddaughter,
and have fun as we go.
I would do as she does.
Growing like a weed,
Learn as she learns.
And before I’m through,
I will enjoy complaining
like teenagers do.
Going through the aches and pains
of adolescence.
Becoming aware of the world.
Looking forward to
and wasting opportunities
Like young adults do.
But only…
if I had one wish.
