If I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER
I would have invited friends over
to dinner even if the carpet was
stained and the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in
the "GOOD" living room and
worried much less about the dirt
when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to
listen to my grandfather ramble
about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car
windows be rolled up on a summer day
because my hair had just
been teased and sprayed.
I would have burned the pink
candle sculpted like a rose before it
melted in storage.
I would have sat on the lawn with
my children and not worried
about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed
less while watching television and
more while watching life.
I would have gone to bed when I
was sick instead of pretending the
earth would go into a holding
pattern if I weren't there for the day.
I would never have bought anything
just because it was practical,
wouldn't show soil or was
guaranteed to last a lifetime.
Instead of wishing away nine
months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished
every moment realizing that the
wonderment growing inside me was the only
chance in life to assist God in a miracle.
When my kids kissed me impetuously,
I would never have said,
"Later. Now go get washed up for dinner."
There would have been more "I love you's"
and more "I'm sorry's"
.....but mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every
minute.....look at it and really see it... live it ... and never give it
back.
