IF.

Two simple letters
Make a huge difference.
What if?
When if?
If only,
Only if!

Life is full of ifs.
What if I held on
A little tighter?
A little longer?
Tried harder?
Spoke louder?

Would we still be together?
Would we've lasted?
Who knows?
Only had I ifed?

If I stood my ground
When temptation came?
Would I be the man
That you knew & loved?
If I seeked shelter
When lust rained?
Would I have
Your respect gained?

After everything is said
And done.
Lessons learned
And hearts burnt.
I now know
Before anything is done
I ask myself
If???

Today

A new day has dawned.
A restart, refresh, the crisp morn.
What today holds,
Only ticking hands & rotated digits will unfold.

Today just maybe the day,
The mega ball rolls my way.
Or even yet my,
Wandering eyes won't stray!

Probably work will be easy,
Hopefully stress free.
My boss may call me with praise
And also give me a raise.

Go spend some quality time
With the great family of mine.
Get my hair clipped.
Or just clean the whip.

Probably head to the pub.
Eat some wings & drink a bud.
But its not yet daybreak,
And I'm not yet fully awake.

So as I begin to stir
Memories of yesterday are all a blur.
Looking ahead for a great day.
As always I get on my knees to Pray.
