If...
If I had a cent for every thought that races through my mind
I wouldn’t have to work for a dime
Waste my time trying to find creative ways to cultivate me time,
Counting every dime to see if I have any for vacation time
Wondering if I’ll have enough to treat myself to a bling bling
A frivolous WANT circumventing need
Enough that I don't bleed
Or
Would I have to luxuriate and squander all my thoughts on wonder thinking …
If I had this thing,
I could get that thing,
And do this and that thing,
Have a taste of something
Experience a little thing
Before I had to get back...
To the reality of balancing nothing
In order to have something
If

Good morning Fab…
ReplyDeleteWonderful piece of writing.
Can our minds bring confusion where our hearts are designed to bring peace.
It is quite a balancing act as you have shared.
Have a superb week my very intelligent friend,

Should we stay on 'IFs', we are likely to live life only in our heads... and with regrets about our actions of yesterday...
