How would things be different,
If I had only been different then?
Just how different would we be,
If I could change the when?

Would the sun shine that much brighter?
Or the maountains stand more proud?
If I could infuse my thoughts with yours,
And dispell your fearfull cloud.

Would the seas be any deeper?
Would the sky be any more blue?
If I could ease your doubting mind,
And prove my love to you?

Would the stars be closer within my grasp?
Would distant planets I be able to see?
All of this would would become possible,
If I could have you here with me.

So beautiful--so sad and lonely.

To attempt to go back
and change the past
would take you further
from the here and now.

Learn from it, heed the lessons,
carve a new future...
one day at a time.

Well done, Joe.

leave it...going forward a lot more cultured, nurtured and maturely responsible from it, not to mention, knowing true love which came from within you.  The desire alone will spead an even applica' of woven magic just for you.  Hugs...

If's tend to keep us down and longing for so much more.You've realized the cost now release the pain and let your wondrous light shine again.You'll have the truest of love and will hold it tnederly within your arms and share with all the world the joy you've found.
