to turn back the clock
and live again those times
those moments
which moved me on
where would i be
who would i not have met
. what opportunities missed
. lips not kissed
. words never spoken
. hearts left unbroken
. a once aspiring achiever
. became sardonic disbeliever
. spiritually enriched
. christianity ditched
. put my life into hock?
. and turn back the clock?
. well i'd maybe ease the tension
. with a more rewarding pension
. but theres only one real wealth
. mind and body's good health
. and a peel of laughter
. to greet the hereafter
to turn back the clock
and live again those times
those moments
which moved me on
where would i be
who would i not have met
. what... and lose my glorious memories
. you must be joking

What if? The most profound question of them all.
A fine write DA. I can't understand some folk. We all had an extra second, a few years ago I think it was. What more could we want? We could have sailed round the world 473 times in that second - going by the speed of light (186,000 miles per second)! I've not checked the calculations for this. lol. Oh well, maybe half way to the moon anyway.
Most people out there probably think us poets are half way to the moon already. Were you like me, did you age in that extra second?
Yes - very old now! heehee.
I have already been around for 100s of millions of them and wasted a few as well, so what's one more
who would not want to be able to turn back the clock.. and back again ....
You're right, "turn back the clock" for what?
Nothing will change, nothing can change and we'll dance the same way again.
So you're right, why give up the memories.
Thnx
