IF I COULD GO BACK (1)

 If I could go back,
Change the past.
  I would slow down,
Not go so fast.

  I would pay attention
To the older crowd.
  I get why, they're
Cocky and proud.

  I would do better
In school.
  I would play less
Of the fool.

  I would adjust,
My attitude.
  I would show
More gratitude.

  I would speak
less.
  I would prepare,
For the test.

 I would smile
A lot more.
 I no longer would
Keep score.

  I would spend more
Time with family.
  I would take better care
of my anatomy.

  I would say no can do,
To the drugs.
  I would give
Longer hugs.

  I would have no
Expectations.
  I would have quiet
Conversations.

  I would be more flexible,
Less bent out of shape.
  I would always have
A plan of escape.

  I would cry less,
I would laugh more.
  I would knock on
The closed door.

  I would never
Judge another.
  I would be a
Better mother.

IF I COULD GO BACK…
