If Time Poem by Oladapo Oladosu

If time
If time could playback
I would like to have another bite of childhood
And bask in its innocence.
I would love to roam the street with
peeps and may be not with just pant this time.
I would right my wrongs, erase my regrets
And accomplish elapsed dreams.
And most of all, I would be free from the yoke
Of responsibility.

If time could stay right here with me
I would like to be young forever (black hairs, unwrinkled
face and firm breasts)they say ageing is tiring.
Everyday will be today
And there will be no fear of what tomorrow may bring.

If time could leap
I could evade all the troubles of today,
Save from the stress of trying and live
My dreams accomplished. I would love
To sit and watch younger men pay me respect.
