IF I COULD GO BACK (2)
Debbie Middaugh AKA TURBO1904 1963 (San Diego, CA.)
If I could go back,
I would follow my dream.
I would take my time
And float downstream.
I could make it right
When I was wrong.
Where I was weak,
I could be strong.
The times I told a lie,
I would tell the truth.
I would give advice
to our youth.
I could choose love,
Instead of hate.
I could start over,
With a clean slate.
I would save more,
Spend less.
Where I did wrong,
I would confessq.
I would face my
Fears.
I would dry my
Tears.
I could steer clear
Of the bad guys.
I could see the
Blessing in disguise.
I would be more
Forgiving.
I could really
Start living.
I would hold
My temper.
I would find
My center.
If I could go back,
I would treat life better.
I could avoid,
That day I met her.
