What if?
The most unanswered question ever asked.
I look back on my life,
So full of what ifs.
Each one would have taken my life
Along a different path,
And I often wonder where I would be
If I had taken one of those paths.
The one that is overwhelming
Is what if I had remained in my first place of work
Instead of trying to save a relationship that failed,
How high up the scientific chain would I have climbed?
But then looking back
If I had taken any of those paths
I would not have met her,
Met the love of my life,
Which brough so much joy,
So much joy to me
In our so many married years.
Yes we ask what if,
But to me they are not relevant,
As my life was filled with love
And that love will continue
So that when that day happens
We will be together once more
And there will be no more
What ifs.
