My Other Self

If God made it possible for me to talk
to myself back to when I was a child,
I would make myself a better man
than I am today.
I would tell myself to live life as though
it was a gift, embracing every second,
minute, and hour. As the sands of time pass,
I would see every milestone and challenge as a gift.
My perception towards sadness and misery,
would be like that of passing clouds…
