If I could pick a point somewhere in time,
to alter the things that were and would be,
which would be the hour to change what is?
What infinitesimal moment will do?

How could I possibly pick the pivot
point to change the way that things did become?
Should I stop the man who did beat the boy
who grew to the man who became my dad?

Would I think of happiness and of joy,
or would financial be my one gain?
I could undo some of my own actions,
or would I do them all over again?

It is a nice game that I like to play,
if things were only different one day.
But then I’m afraid that I would undo,
all our happiness and the love we share.

I can look back at the many mistakes,
and see the wrong paths that some of us made.
Yet the one thing that I can never see,
is where those other choices would have led.

Exactly! Interesting points to ponder! Perhaps all is played out as it is meant to be.

I'd probably change a lot of things if I could go back

but maybe then I wouldn't be here? who knows

So true.

What I used to do with one hand tied behind my back now requires every muscle in my body, cohesively.

we have to learn from both our own mistakes, as well as others'. Very interesting read. I enjoyed it. Dee

as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
