What If......?

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.
