If I had my way - pondering poetic

If I had my way

Tomorrow would be a new day

I would follow my heart

Giving homage to life's art

No more profit from sorrow

No robbing Peter to Paul I borrow

If I had my way

Tomorrow would filled with play

No more worries of the past

Rather creating memories I want to last

The joy within me, I know is there

It would come out to take part in life's fair

If I had my way

Tomorrow I would fly away

Off to explore a new land

Feeling between my toes the warm sand

My weariness would be gone

Rested, I could write a beautiful new song

If I had my way

Tomorrow I would dance and sway

Security's beat would be my tune

Free I would be of this needed cocoon

Soaring high my spirit would be

Living the life I have dreamed of for me

If I had my way

People would know I am made of clay

The rock that many say I am

Is a shield that protects an emotional dam

A surge of waves I hold back

Because it's not time, I have to remain on track

The day will come when I have my way -

But, until then, I will dream of what I will say
