If I could...

do anything

By Anna Published 2 years ago 1 min read

If I could get what I want,

I'd only ask for love and trust

Because these are the rare,

valuable things out there.

***

If I could do what I want

I wanna be happy

with my own job

and make good money

to feed my loved ones.

***

If I could relive one memory

I could not choose,

there are so many

Both good and bad ones

but I wouldn't change any

looking back in the past

I don't regret a thing...

even if I said the opposite

back then, when I was young...

***

If I could say one last thing,

it would definitely be a warning

for the kids

who'll form the unknown future

Please do not let the computer

rule what's been given to you

'cause you know what's precious?

The time, you waste,

not the money, that you made.

***

    "If I could relive one memory" That is a big dilemma. What would I choose, I think the best one when I was huged by my children, There were a lot. 🤗

  • Time is the most precious thing we give to those that matter
