I wish

I wish I knew I was in the good old days, before I realized I’d left them.

I wish I had been wiser with the time that I was given.

I wish that I could turn back the clock, relax and enjoy the journey.

I wish I could have seen exactly where I failed and lost me.

I wish I knew what I know now, that I was ALWAYS good enough!

That I would have defended myself like I would have someone else.

I wish I had seen I had the strength back then to handle things when it got tough.

I wish I could save the incomparable feeling of my mother’s hugs.

It’s too late now to wish like that, but not to late for changing.

It’ll take some time and will, and a little focused rearranging.

I can’t change what I did then, but just sit back and take a look,

I have the time to make that call;

I AM the author of my book!
