You say what if? And so do I The time that passed again came by Would we change a thousand things? Or kiss the chance goodbye What if you were someone else? A gender change and life you lead No different would you know about Or answers of it need What if dreams they all came true? But then you found they would not come Would you seek a wonder new? Or worry of it none What if we were happy just? With all the things that life dished out No complaints and smiles a must Now that would be a turnabout! What if; that’s the question hey? A thought that haunts when day is wrong But nothing we can change from fate for in its time, we all belong |

Hi Rick - "But nothing we can change from fate for in its time, we all belong" You are probably right and there's certainly merit in just accepting fate but I can't do that even though I am quite happy with what I've got. If I shake hands with "fate" then it's like I'm not in charge of my own life and I would so much like to think that I am.  Thank you for your words! Helen |

Dear Helen, great to get you comment my friend, shaking the hand of fate, would be shaking the hand of what is to be, I think fate is what will be, we can change all that we would like, but that is what was going to happen anyway. Something to think on isn't it, we shall together ok. Have a great day and again thank you for your reply. Rick |
