IF I HAD MY LIFE TO
LIVE OVER
I'd dare to make more
mistakes next time.
I'd relax, I would limber up.
I would be sillier than I
have been this trip.
I would take fewer things seriously.
I would take more chances.
I would climb more
mountains and swim more rivers.
I would eat more ice cream and less
beans.
I would perhaps have more actual
troubles,
but I'd have fewer
imaginary ones.
You see, I'm one of those
people who live
sensibly and sanely hour after hour,
day after day.
Oh, I've had my moments,
And if I had it to do over again,
I'd have more of them.
In fact, I'd try to have nothing else.
Just moments, one after
another,
instead of living so many years ahead
of each day.
I've been one of those
people who never goes anywhere
without a thermometer, a hot water
bottle, a raincoat
and a parachute.
If I had to do it again,
I would travel lighter than I have.
If I had my life to live
over,
I would start barefoot earlier in the
spring
and stay that
way later in the fall.
I would go to more dances.
I would ride more merry-go-rounds.
I would pick more daisies.
