To Live Again

I am old, but mind is still young
There are books unread, songs unsung
Want to turn time’s hand back again
I just want to go way back when

I don’t regret the things I’ve done
Just want to give life one more run
This time around, do all I can
Live life according to my plan

Have fun and play with my children
Don’t feel as they are a burden
Tell everyone “I love you” more
Take long walks along the seashore

Time for more beautiful sunsets
Watch the sunrise with no regrets
Go back and live my life with fun
Live everyday as my last one
