If You had One Wish

Have you ever wanted
to start all over again?
At what point in your life
would you now want to begin?
 
Would it be as a child,
as you now know right from wrong?
Would that give you now
what you wanted all along?
 
Would it be as a teen,
where confusions at it's best?
Would this be a better time
then any of the rest?
 
Or as a young adult,
would you change anything?
Can you control all changes
that these changes will bring?
 
Now thinking it over not 
once, but twice to be sure-
Could starting your life over
be your life's problems cure?
 
What is your opinion,
may I be so bold to ask?
Would the world be better
if we went back to our past?
 
Could we all guarentee
only positive changes?
Can we do better then
our Lord God arranges?
 
So, now I'm sitting back,
and I'm waiting to see,
if anyone joins me and
says, "Go back? Not me!"
