Old Photograph

To step back in that moment
That very day and time 
Once again, I could own it
This life, that once, was mine

To feel that Autumn breeze
And hear my baby, coo
If given, one more chance
Oh the things that I could do

To hear that same tune playing
In the background, on repeat
That made my babies giggle
That sound would be so sweet

To be given one more chance
To give my very best
To tickle, kiss and dance
To embrace how I was blessed
