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.
