If I Could Turn Back The Clock Poem by Iphupho The Dream

IF I COULD TURN BACK THE CLOCK

It was warm autumn morning
When i woke to a daylight nightmare
He lay there with no breath in him
I tried to wake him but he was no more
The only man who ever gave me a treasure of life..

if i could turn back the hands of time
I'd treasure
the moments i shared with him
Those days i'd cry at night wanting to be comforted by him
I'd walk extra Mile and safe his life
If i could go back to that day
I'd hug him for the very last time

For death came as a stranger
I couldn't laugh with him for the last time
I didn't get to make him crack in laughter
I couldn'tlook him in the eye and leave a word of remembrance in him
I didn't get to tell him how much i appreciated the efforts
The support
And his love for me

But if i could be given a chance to
Turn back the clock
I'd ask God forextra years
For him to be here for me as i embark into the journey of my tomorrow
To hold my hand when i feel like hope is lost
For him to guide me
To show me the way
But because God had plans of him and i
I couldn't get to be with him for so many years..

But if i could turn back the clock
I'd follow his footsteps
i'd be the best i can be
I'd make sure i make his memory proud...
But because procrastination took it part
And death played it part
I was left a soul with no Father....
