Glimpse of yesterday

Funmiwrites

 

 

If only I could go back in time,

I'd glimpse that mistake, 

and learn to redefine.

If I could,

I'd find the perfect words,

to prove them wrong,

 

If only I could go back in time,

And right the wrongs, 

that lasted all too long.

If I could,

I'd seek more knowledge,

and gain a deeper mind.

 

If only I could go back in time,

I'd understand my world,

 and its complexities too.

If I could,

I'd find the answers

to questions I never knew.

 

If only I could go back in time,

I'd ask myself questions, 

and find the answers divine.

If I could,

I'd discover hidden strengths,

 and weaknesses unseen.

 

If only I could go back in time,

I'd learn to love myself, 

with all my heart.

If could,

I'd face my fears,

 and overcome the grime.

 

If only I could go back in time,

I'd find the courage to persevere,

 and rise above.

If I could,

I'd have enough self-confident.

    Indeed if I knew what I knew now when I was a young child how would things be different? A fun read that provokes the thoughts.

      Simply while the words goes like this,"we learn everyday", so we can't simply learn everything a day, if we did, we won't ask our self questions, like why did I do this thing?.

      The only benefit of getting older is we become wiser supposedly but it would nice to go back to the start and try again, enjoyed the read

        Do you think, if we could go back in time, we might be able to learn, develop, and understand?

          Undoubtedly
