If Only I Didn’t
Living Intelligently From Experience
A Path in the Lives and Experiences of People
as they affect many, taken from
lives past, lives now and lives that will be

It was a
strange door but I went right in Fell down a
stairway but was safe in my skin Once I got
to my feet there was a welcomed surprise No more
cricks in my body, no more blurry eyes Lifelong
aging had reversed, I had muscles again Youth
returned to my old body and I felt no pain I was
better than ever and I could fly Dove for
miles underwater then leaped to the sky I was going
to do all the things I didn’t do before Didn’t want
to repeat past boredoms, then I saw another door No
hesitation this time, nothing to lose and everything to win The geriatric nurse stood on the other side, If
Only I Didn’t go in |
