Moments

Moments
If I had my life to live over,
I would try to make more mistakes next time,
I would relax, I would lighten up
I would be sillier than I ever have been
I would take more things less seriously
I would be crazier
I would take more chances
I would take more trips
I would climb more mountains,
Swim more rivers,
And watch more sunsets
I would have more real problems
And very few imaginary ones
I have had my moments,
And if I had to do it over again,
I’d have more of them
In fact, I’d have nothing else…
Just moments, one after another
Instead of living so many years ahead of each day
I would go places and do things
And travel lighter than I have
I would stand barefoot earlier in the spring,
And stay that way later in the fall
I would pick more daisies
I would ride on more merry-go-rounds
I would gather more clowns in my life
I would hug more people, and hold more hands
I would meet you sooner and know you longer
And, I would love you better.
