Would You Do It All Again?
Would You Do It All Again? ©

If you had your life to live over again
If given another chance
Would you choose to revel in petty things
Or would you just let go and dance?
Would anger rule your mental state
For things you could not control?
Or would you quickly brush them off
So stress couldn’t take its toll?
Would you still hold fast to the wrath you feel
Toward those who don’t fit your mold?
Or would you take a full deep breath
And support others to peacefully grow old
Would you live your life in a genuine way
And be who you needed to be?
Leaving this world a better place
Adding pride to Earth’s family tree
Well sad to say you’ve only one chance
You’ve only got today
Always choose to take the kind pathway
For Mother Earth’s sake please don’t delay
About this poem
If you had your life to live over, would you change it?
