My memories provide a time machine -
I shut my eyes, through time I quickly fly.
I'm taken back to when I was thirteen
to navigate the maze of Junior High.
I see a photograph and now I'm thirty;
a week or two since having our first child.
Still learning how to change him when he's dirty
then time zips by; now HE is thirty - wild!
I find myself wishing I could go back
to right some wrongs and unsay words I'd said.
Hug loved ones or seek wisdom that I lack;
to love my parents more on their deathbed.
But two things I would not change in my life:
My faith in God, or marrying my wife.
