If?
If you look back on your life what do you see,
Does it meet up to what you wanted it to be,
If you look back now what would you change,
What would you redo, not do or re-arrange.

If your childhood you was stood before you here,
Would he recognize his dreams or be nowhere near,
If you could make things different what would you do,
Would you discover new purpose or points of view.

If you altered yourself who would you be,
What about places you go and things that you see,
If you changed your path to better your need,
Would you sacrifice self for money and greed.

If the world changed forever for better and good,
Would you remember how you got to where you now stood,
If everything reverted backΒ Β to childhood dreams,
You could make everything just the way it should seem.
A poem questioning my/your.our position in life and how it tallies against where you thought you would be.
