If Only If Only
`...If only…
`
most oft repeated words
`Of the most saddest of men
Words of such weight
that carry such freight
And we all seem to say them
...Now and then...
...If only...
They speak of decisions unmade
Of actions delayed
Affections displayed
Best intentions betrayed
And they seem to be uttered
Again and again...
...If only...
Words 0ften spoken
With a tear in one’s eye
Most often accompanied
By a long wistful sigh
Of opportunities
And options
Passed by
...If only…
Hindsight could be
recalled and rectified
regrets and remorse
cast aside
perhaps...just perchance
we would be a little less lonely
...If only…
Had we taken the path
less tried
