Here Comes The "What If's"
What If
I did get the chance to do it again
Would I be what I thought I could be
What if
I could cross out that one thing
and replace it with another
would it make a difference one way or the other
What if
I went on to further my education
would my current job still be my present situation (did that sound right)
What if
I waited to become a mother till AFTER I was married
maybe then I would like my kids father
What if
I knew then what I know now
Shoot, with him I wouldn't even bother
What if
I could be a better mother, a better wife
What if
I didn't complain so much
not having this, wanting that, not liking this nor loving that
or what if..if ...if
(sigh) Hold up
What If
I count my blessings
be grateful I'm alive healthy and free
What if
I embrace my blessings wholeheartedly
What if
I look at my family and Thank God they are apart of me
Be happy with who I am embracing the God in me
What if
I reflect on past mistakes
only to unfold the lessons taught
Greatly appreciative of victories faught
What if
I just relax...breathe..... and there is honor now that I show
Then I could stop these questions
for the "What If's" now I know
