Second Guesses

Perhaps had I chosen another Instead of the love that I did, I wouldn't have been left a Widow so soon and my Son would not have had Genetic flaw That took him Away Too. But ..................if I had chosen another I would not have had those sweet years With the love of my young life Nor have had him either, My redheaded lad Or the two girls Who are so Dear to Me. Better by far to have loved and lost Than not to have had them at all. I wouldn't give up those years Just to avoid the tears. The joy was worth The losing of My two men. Husband Son. For Linda Marie's contest (Journey Back In Time.)
