If only...


I'm sorry...!

If only I had walked a different path,
with clearer eyes.

If only...

Then, maybe, my journey
would have been less marred
and more worth marking
and remarking.

If only I had held my tongue.
If only I had valued truth.
If only I had shone a light.
If only I had loved a little more.

If only...

Excuses, excuses, excuses!
My penitence is paper-thin.
If only...

I'm sorry...!

    I was musing on my many 'if onlys' before I hauled myself out of bed this morning.
    The first cup of tea for the day helped a bit. I guess most of us have a list. Bill
