What If What if I had my life to live over I wonder if I’d do the same things again, Especially if I knew what I now know No, I think from that pathway I'd refrain. It would be a much different pathway I’d follow. For I’d know all the pitfalls to elude, Perhaps I’d become a property investor Or a share trader might be the pathway pursued. For a good education I’d go off to Uni’ To study hard and make a success of my life, I’d steer clear of all the backbreaking work But I’d still take my wife as my wife. Of course if I did have my life to live over And the pathway to success I wished to climb, I dare say that I’d do the same things again For you do what you think is right at the time. But then I think, what if I had won Tatts-lotto, Say back about twenty-five years ago, Perhaps I wouldn’t be in a wheelchair today And maybe a different pathway I’d hoe. But then I think of all my many blessings, My keen memory to me is number one, Also to have a very broad sense of humour, So I think my battle is more than half won. The very fact that I have a large loving family Who all help ease the pressures of life, Yes, every day I count all my blessings Number one being my wonderful wife. Lindsay P Wilson |

What a heartfelt poem for your wife to treasure. I have often done the "what if?" Once I do it I always come to the same conclusion, I would do it all the same. Loved the message you shared in this. Carpe' Diem, |

This is a sweet poem. Obviously, family is number one. And if I had to do it all over again, I'd probably still do it the same. |

Lindsay, What a beautiful tribute to your wife and the love she has for you. I know I would have done so many things different, if I knew then, what I know now. Very nice write. Tracey. |

When you can think of the fortunes you might have known... and then realize you already have your treasure... it certainly touches this heart! *S* Beautiful write, my friend... big hugs to both of you! *S* |
