If I Could Start all Over Again -- Poem about Life

Updated on May 4, 2014
Source

If I could start all over again

nothing would be the same

I certainly would ride this train of life

Trying to do everything right this time



If I could start all over again

Would talk to my dad... that now is gone

Would take more time with mom

And pay attention to her say


If I could start all over again

Would try this time to figure out God

Who at times seems to be odd

trying to decode his creation

by seeing myself growing and

experience life's temptations

If I could start all over again

Would spend more time with

my little sister

who thought I was her hero

when I used to leave for school

who felt that deep sorrow

When our Cockier died and went over the moon


If I could start all over again

I would look for that bike of mine

that I rode down the shore

taking places where I 've never been before


If I could start all over again

would play again with school pals

no evil thoughts and free

to go here and there

friends the taught me how to have fun out of nothing

making my life more than just exciting



If I could start all over again

Would go back to visit my dearest Granny

Who was there to listen my silly stories

always tightening up my belt

and crying of joy for me... getting taller


If I could start all over again

would search for that girl that didn't mind me

and cause my first heart's pain

would certainly ask her, why she was into older dudes

in blue uniforms, ready to take off.



If I could start all over again

would ask God while praying

Why dad left us with little to survive

why we had to suffer


If I could start all over again

would watch God's creation from a child's eyes

Going right above my roof and look upon that starry sky

Telescope, Yankees cap and mom's apple pie


If I could start all over again

Would write poems for my mom

who was my guidance

my role model in life

dropping a note by her bedside

and silently running away in disguise


If I could start all over again

Would try to understand life as it was

crazy at times, but worth the fun


If I could start all over again

I would be ready to cope with

fear, anger and surprises that life

has been dosing rentlessly to us


If I could start all over again

I would finish reading this inspiration to mom

sure, she will be smiling while fixing my lunch

checking if my clothes were ironed as dad's


If I could start all over again

would definetly follow that butterfly

into heavy rain


If I could start all over again

would thank this creator for giving me this mind

lighting this candlelght in my room

scared at time of uncertain darkness

that came with the night



If I could start all over again

I would do it again

wiping my own tears and thanking God

my life was not in vain....
