Turn Back Time

If I could turn back time- what would I change?
Maybe fix all my mistakes- my life to rearrange?
Bring back lost loved ones- or pets perhaps?
Screw up the Grand Design- and all of their maps?

Would I be even more studious- and get a better education
To solve some of the many problems- within our vast nation?
Would I be even more concerned- with the environment and Mother Earth?
How would I decide which holds the most worth?

Would I become a millionaire- and help those in need?
Would I be snobbish, anti-social- and live a life of greed?
Would I turn back time- to when it all began?
Would that honestly and really- be the best plan?

In retrospect- my life is going quite well
Even if tragedies- in my life did befell.
I'm Happy and Healthy- with a great family!
So I believe that- I will just let everything Be!!!

Enjoyed the journey in speculation, Tamar, and am glad to read that you'll stick with the life you've lived. Best wishes, Gershon
