When You Can Poem by mercy kihungi

When you can
If asked to go back one day, hour, min, sec..what different would you do
What would you change how you did?

If granted yesterday today, I would correct yester mistakes and please you.
When it vanished I realized I would have been better than how I was.
Today is here but am still living yesterday and past time.
Loading oneself with heavier baggage. Mistakes and regrets.
It will take time to offload but now that I know, let me make things right.


Take time to appreciate what you’ve got, before letting go,
Check around to see if there’s better than that.
Say I love you when you mean it and sorry when necessary,
Be grateful always. Don’t wait until you peep the grave to realize we don’t live forever.


With another chance I would sit down and solve with you our differences.
Than argue and push you to go for good.
I could offer some love and understanding and that would be us.
Listening more would be my virtue, and wishing good my ultimate hope.
Its happier a feeling when good you do to others than self.
Seeing ones satisfaction is mine too. But where’s extra chances, time has passed by.
