What if I had eaten fruit and vegetables? Instead of cheese and chips What if I had worked out every day? Instead of watching too much tv What if I had applied myself when I was teaching? Instead of lying on my bed buried under a thousand harsh words? What if I had a good sense of humor? Instead of going over and over an insult I had received What if I had learned to play an instrument? Instead of looking for excuses to not even try What if I had gotten married? Instead of waking up each morning feeling the sting of lonliness What if I had had children? Instead of worrying about the work and material cost What if everyone would just accept people who are different? Instead of judging them and excluding them What if all people were free from fear of harm? Instead of worrying about landmines and evil leaders What if we could make this a better world? Instead of just writing about it What if

About this poem:
Just going over some things I have wished would be better. Just like in the movie PeeWee's Big Adventure, "You can't wait for things to happen, you have to make them happen."
I can relate to your wonderful poem...I also have asked myself what if...and aslo if only...
Really enjoyed reading, thank you for sharing

Awesome poem, Mc, love this! and, if i may add one more 'what if'
What if we started all over, so no yesterday was?! What if there was only Now? and there was only today, for today! Maybe, just maybe it's never too late, to change

What if we started all over, so no yesterday was?!
What if there was only Now?
and there was only today, for today!
Maybe, just maybe
it's never too late,
to change
