If I Could Go Back

Back in Time...

If I could go back in time

to the moment

the Jenga blocks fell,

if I could go back in time

to the moment

that things were no longer well,

if I could go back in time

to the moment

where my happiness began to fade,

if I could go back in time

to the moment

where I got lost in the shade,

if I could go back in time

to the moment

which seemed to mark the end,

if I could go back in time

to the moment

which marked my descent,

if I could go back in time

to change it...

I wouldn't.

Because...

Without that descent,

without that shade,

without that fall,

I wouldn't be able

to stand so tall.

The falls are not ends,

They're opportunities

to climb higher.

So,

If I could go back in time,

I would not change a thing.
