I borrowed my title from Gwen Dickerson. Thank you Gwen for inspiring me to write my poem.

If I Were Young Again

 


by Emma L. Willey


If I were young again,

I’d do a lot oft things

I’d try to write a book

That mdse me sprout my wings.

 

 

If I were young again

I bet I’d have more fun

Do more spur of the moment stuff

And leave my work undone.

 

I think I’d learn about more things

To please my family more

I’d spend more time with kids

Before they close the door.

 

I’d sit and play with them

Instead of doing housework

I’d read with them and play

And have fun all the day.

 

I think I’d wear more what I want

Instead of following style

And I would do some things

To keep me young a while.

 

I’d get more exercise I know

I might walk many miles

To keep my figure young longer

T  give me many smiles.

 

If I were young again

And in the prime of life

I’d try to plan ahead

And be a better wife.

 

I’ve had a good long life

With happiness galore

But if I were young again

I’d do a whole lot more.

NOW is a great time to start doing some of your heart desires. Evaluate your life happiness goals, then set new priorities and imediately start doing your thing(s). Great poem, Emma!

It's never too late! Our spirits are forever young, even though the body ages, our youth remains within our hearts.
Splendid write.

Emma,

Why stop now? Start a new adventure; kick up your heels and live! Gosh, age isn't stopping me...now the old body might have other ideas, but hey...as long as I can, I'm going to go for it!

A whimsical, well penned wish. :) BRAVA!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)
