Reflections

IF ONLY I HAD THIS LIFE TO LIVE OVER AGAIN: Oh the changes I would have made. I would have gone sleigh riding in the winter's snow, I would have realized the miracle of the rainbow... gazed at a sunset across the meadow. It seems not so very long ago. Forgive me Lord. I just didn't know! IF ONLY I HAD THIS LIFE TO LIVE OVER AGAIN: Oh the changes I would have made. I would have hiked through a forest and hugged a tree... spent more time with friends and family... learned the lesson of the honeybee. Unawareness is such a tragedy; I was blind and did not see! IF ONLY I HAD THIS LIFE TO LIVE OVER AGAIN: Oh the changes I would have made. I would have reflected more on what would carryon... that which would endure long after I was gone... thanked The Lord for the gift of each new dawn... discovered the purpose of being born... regrets forever I will mourn. IF ONLY I HAD THIS LIFE TO LIVE OVER AGAIN: Oh what different choices I would have made. I would have set my mind on things above... laughed more, played more, and shared God's Love... listened to the songs of the turtledove; for this is what life is made of. God is the hand and we are the glove. My eyes are slowly closing. Something is happening to me! There's a Bright Light I see! I feel such peace...a serenity! Milton L. Delgado October 6, 1998
