Oh If Only

Said, how many times
In a life time?
Stack them high and I
Won't deny my 'if only's'
Could reach the sky.

What about yours,
Have you said this too?
How many 'if only's' look
Back at you?
One, two, three, four!
Come on, out with it,
There must be more!

Make a list
What will go first?
'Oh if only', I had...
Does it make you sad?
Or just glad it's all behind you...
What if's only remind you,
you didn't and that's that!
So stop envying the other guy
That bought the hat or the
One who took off running while
You just sat.

I'm sighing here!

Cynthia
Sunday...it's raining...Ah 'If Only It Wasn't!'
