I'd love to go back in time - make several things unhappen and harsh words unsaid. But I guess, in the end, it would not change the things.
Wonderful write.

Wonderful poem, beautifully put. In my current state of mind, I wish I could traispe back to when my parents and my sister, Helen, were alive and just 'freeze' time. Then, alas, I would miss knowing my son and grandson . . . so it would, doubtless, be just a long reprieve from the realities of death, diseases and depression.
Thanks for the moment :)! I'm not sure which is harder--growing up or growing old.
Love always :)Sandy

Powerful and searching, Jack. At times, yes, I would like to go back, maybe change some mistakes I've made, but then what? Like Kate says, I am what I am from what I've lived. I wonder how many really would go back if they could...

A wonderful poem Jack, it does make one think, but in reality - No I would not want to go back in time because I would not want to relive the bad times as well. What chaos if we all started re-arranging things too. Jackie <> <

No I would not want to go back. My life is difficult, but each piece that has lead me to where I am, is part of who I am. I would not want to take the chance of changing that :-) I have enjoyed how you have written this wonderful piece!

Oh Jack such interesting thoughts, but I don't want them to go back to all the agony and hurt of loving someone so deeply that it drove me crazy. No I would want them to move forward away from hurt and agony to a tomorrow where my search would end and I would find what I searched so desperately for with her; knowing she didn't really love me after all, but loved a dead memory.

Jack,
This poem is very special. I love it, but I, for one, wouldn't want to go back. I want to stay right here in the present. My memories are enough.
