What If?

One little thing changed my life today
One tiny little thing
What if it had gone another way?
Then what would my new tomorrow bring?

You caught my eye that long ago day
And I said a bedazzled 'Yes!"
Now that I'm old and gray
I wonder if that was best

If I'd never left my southern home
What would my kids be like?
Why do I speculate and moan
Did I fall off fate's intended bike?

In some parrallel universe of mights
Is another Margie wondering too?
Is she looking out at this same night
Thinking she should have left and grew?

Lol! Guess I'll never know
My kids are the best and so are you
So I'm content with the fate I chose
And love these Virginia skies of blue
Linda...

 
Such a sweet reflective write Margie...kudos and hugs

Dear Margie:

It seems the mind is always questioning.
I often ask similiar questions but I won't trade any of my children!! Nice oem and presentation!!

Warm hugs and love Sheila A

It boggles the mind to think of all the crossroads in our lives that, basically, would have made us different people living different lives if--.
Thanks, Sheila!

We so want to believe in fate, it makes things seem more orderly. This may not be exactly what your fine poem was about, but I was thinking today about how two people's paths cross when they are both looking (although if you ask them they will deny that they were!), and they find each other. Then years later they realize how different they really were all along, and wonder if they had crossed paths with someone more compatible, how different their life might have been. Most of the time, it could have been better, but it could have been worse too. We can sit in a rocking chair on a porch all day and second guess.

Too true! Our instincts are usually right, tho, even if we don't get to see into our subconcious mind and follow the logic. Who knows what that picked up on and guided our decisions without our concious knowledge? Or perhaps even more primitive imperatives. I sort of believe in, or at least am hopeful of, reincarnation. But that would require the aknowledgement of the existence of a soul, which I just can't do. Otherwise I would just shrug and say 'next time around'.

Even though I have never been able to fully believe in Christianity, Margie, I do believe in an immortal soul, illogical as it might be, and in reincarnation, which I believe has happened to me before, a number of times. It's not a belief based on anything other than my seemingly uncanny affinity for and fascination with certains times past, which I think affects any of us who have that "sense of the past," plus my imagination. My personal religion makes me feel better, and that's not such a bad thing.
