Change Poem by Grace Burke

Where has the time gone, what happened to my teens
What's happened to my twenties, my fifties and between
The time has gone to quickly, the time has gone so fast
Tomorrow's already been here it is now the past.

If I could live it over, would I change the things I've done
Would I try to make amends, would I try to overcome
If I changed the things I wanted, would I still be who I am
Or would I be another, a totally different woman.

Would my life be for the better or would it be for worse
Would changing things improve my life or would it be a curse
Would the good things that had happened no longer now exist
Would all the things that plagued me now continue to persist.

I guess I would change nothing even if I could
Even if I thought the change was something for the good
To change the past behind us, to alter who we are
Would be like changing history or wishing on a star.
