Time Machine

The Time Machine is built and ready to try Final preparations complete ready to say goodbye I would travel back to the day I was born The machine fires up sending me airborne The next thing I know I am transporting my mom and myself from the birthing room Looking at myself flashes great memories of days gone by Now that I am seventy looking at me as a newborn I start to cry I wonder what it would be like to start life over again How would I change things from what it was like back then Suddenly an alarm goes off it was just a dream It just goes to show things are never like they seem.

Would we change things…would we be the same, better, worse…who knows…so we find the machine and go back again and try to make the same mistakes that made us think twice and made us wise…who knows

A question of intrigue, return to the beginning, makes you think. Nice John!
