 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

I Wouldn't Change A Thing!


When I look back to my past,
And see what it was I went through in life,
The brain tumours, the surgeries, everything!
The pain and heartache and strife!
I look to this past of mine and know;
Without a shadow of a doubt in my mind,
I wouldn't change a thing, not one,
For contentment now is what I find.

And if I altered one thing in my past,
Then I am not who and what I am this day,
Because all that I am, is all that I am,
Oh yes, everything in my life is ok!
So if I was given 3 wishes in life,
They wouldn't matter, because you see…
I have everything that I want in my life,
Oh yes, I am very happy with me!

I wouldn't wish for riches, oh no,
I have all the riches that I need;
For I have the love of a wonderful man,
He's the riches I want, not money or greed!
And I wouldn't ask for health;
Nope, and though some may not believe;
That's the way it is for me,
Like I say, I have all I need.

And if I did wish for anything;
There is only one thing that I would implore
And that's for me and my Rich to have a life,
A life that we both deserve and long for!
That is the riches that I would want,
A simple request I believe;
To live our life as happy as we are;
That's something I'd love to achieve.

And you may think I am stupid or mad,
To not alter my awful health in any way,
But the reason for that is simple,
I wouldn't be who and what I am this day!
To alter one thing in the past,
Alters everything from then on,
So I wouldn't have my Rich in my life;          
Or anything else that I've done!

So I would say no to alteration,
I don't need 3 wishes; no, not for me!
For I am happy with my lot in life,
And I'm content as you can see!

Nope!

I wouldn't change a thing!
