If I had the time

If I had the time

I would not say, I could so.

I should not say, it would All, be,

under and in my soul.

If I shall say, the present went back

into a lost, lost past.

It is what I love, without even

knowing, it.

If I, could have said, the future

will not be changed, ever, would

that be right, then?

I have done, this job, so far,

with all my dedication towards

one child, that was how it was meant.

A long journey, I was prepared for,

day by day, slowly, to master time.

I cannot say, I am lucky,

it was some example, he gave me,

all of his life.

If I, ever had the time, I wished

it would last.
