What Ifs



Every so often I think about the
what ifs in my life.Had I said yes 
to another, I could be
someone else's wife.

Had I paid more attention to
what my Dad was trying to say.
I'd probably be in a better way.

Maybe if I tried a little
harder in school, I wouldn't feel
like such a fool.

Maybe if I didn't give in
and settle,I could have avoided
my daily battle.

For all the minor issues that I
would rant and rave about.I could have
easily forgave and avoided
another falling out.

For all the what ifs I have
had a chance to review. I wonder
what if I had never met you.

Would I be the same person
if I never Loved You?

In relationships there are so many people to chose, but; we often settle for the wrong one, or so we think. We to stop thinking about what if and start thinking about what is. Your 'write' is very well put, concise and to the point. I change the thing i can, and the other; I wash down the drain, along with the wedding ring.. Love, peace and freedom, Olan

"What IF" Oh the irony of it all...... I thank God there is no more what if's in my life........ I liked this poem on a scale of a wisdom of understanding that surpasses my understanding and why I even know it...... So what If I just thank you for this simple reminder of there is no what if's there is just what is and what it was.... great job...... red.....

Thanks for the comment and thanks for taking the time to read my poems.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
