If Only I Could

If only I could pull the time each day I’d rather stretch, drag or expand in anyway Then, I can be more productive than I thought I can even start or finish my tomorrow’s work. If only I could pull the days each week Home and school work done, my joy at its peak I can render much time to all my sweethearts- Like loved ones, friends, music, poetry and arts. Yes, that’s if and only if I could do these two But time and days slip too fast, there’s nothing I can do I’ll just value each tick of the clock to the best I can Let each moment gauge my worth and strength as a woman. But If only I could transform into a fairy or magician I’ll cast my wand to lay instantly my day’s accomplished plans Like an abrupt rise of stocked hays in a farm or barn For everyone to play, roll and enjoy as we run around.

We can only wish to stretch the time to do things at our will. But we know it is not possible. The only way out is to make use of every second at hand. The gap between the longing and the reality is beautifully brought in, dear Len.
