If Poem by John Anderson

If

Rating: 5.0


If I had it to do all over again
To rebreath my life and rework its end

If I knew then what I know now
Would my life be different? And if so; how?

Would I do my best to stay away from the girls
Who can steal your heart with a blush and a twirl?

Would I do my best to study hard in school?
Wearing a diploma hiding a fool

But the girl whose kiss is like a glass of wine
The one whose hug leaves you frozen in time

I'd never having ever owned
the kaleidoscope of life I've known

And knowing where I'd never be
without ever having tasted life's majesty

John, this sweet lament reminds me of the romantic classics. You know, the ones best enjoyed sitting under a shady tree with a nice glass of wine...darn, now you've got me dreaming and I still have an afternoon in the office! Cheers, Lori
