[hometext] => Looking back on my life what would I change? And if I did, what would be the results?
[bodytext] => In the wee hours of my morn. Silence is almost forlorn. A constant ticking of the clock. A lone ship anchored at the dock. Worries, strife, and sleepless night, With hardships forgotten, and all is at last right! If only I'd had a "Time Machine," that could have flown me now, to this very scene. A lifetime of precious seconds, minutes, hours, and years! If only I'd have know then, I'd have been void of all fears! 'Tis so true, what we worry through usually never comes into our view! The luxury of going back and reliving, and redoing, is not granted to me or you! What would we change, or undo? I'd have to get permission from more than a limited few. For what was my curse, to them, may be just the reverse! Would we call them back to suffer even more? Put our hearts back together, as our spirits soar? Are we so selfish, we would awaken them, for our sake, Even if for them, it meant a life of sickness and give and take? And what event would you like to change? Perhaps different parents, maybe a complete exchange? And if you could, you might, like me, have to accept ones even more strange! My many surgeries, so painful, and remote. If I could only change those...... *footnote* I'd be dead! A job you sacrificed, maybe you were fired? Would you want it back, even though you were more inspired? Divorce or separation, Want that changed, even though another was chosen and won! Money, now that's a grand thought! Do you wish you had saved more? Investments, stocks, property bought? If that you could change, would more happiness be caught? Our lives could never be changed Even if granted the power to do so, how would you rearrange? Who would you forget, or leave out? Hurt, or strike-out, or take out, or even wipe out? In the wee hours of my morn. There's stillness, but I'm not forlorn. I changed what I could, when I could!. I had to learn to accept those that weren't good! My decisions will have to stand. None of them were preplanned. All were taken, out of my hand! As I look back on my life, I might have thought that I was in control, but we are all just carried along by time and unforeseen occurrences, and must adjust our lives to it's flow! We all do the best we can with what we know!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
