If I Had It My Way Poem by chris schwartz

If I Had It My Way



If I would have had it my way
I would have met you forty years ago
I wouldn't have wanted for anything else
For my lifelong dream
Would have been fulfilled
With just one simple smile.

If I could have had it my way
I would have crossed your path,
Instead of searching dead ends,
Hoping that they would become you.
I would have savored each moment
Knowing that a lifetime
Would be forever too short to hold you.

If I would have had it my way.

In my twilight years, I have you now.
Your brilliance shines upon me
Greater than the millions of stars
I have stared upon,
Searching and wondering
If someone like you
Could even be real.
What I feared of never finding
Has become
What I fear of losing.
You have made my life complete.

But, If I had it my way,
I could have given you
So much more.
