I am posting a poem for your enjoyment, In honour of poetry month
by: Rebecca Taylor
Where would I be if I wasn’t doing what I’m doing?
Where would I be if I wasn’t the person I am?
Would I choose to go back in time
And be a Southern Belle going to all the parties like Scarlett O’Hara
Would I be an independent woman forging a path for women’s rights?
Maybe I would decide to be a man
And own a really big ranch and be able to make my own decisions
With nobody thinking, it was strange that I was running it.
Would I decide to go into the future
And take a space shuttle to the moon
Maybe I’d be a great doctor
And find a cure for cancer and save the lives of our friends and family
Could I be a world leader
And find an end to war and create a world of peace.
Would I stay in the present
And become a TV anchor
Or maybe I’d be an actress or sing on the silver stage
Accept a Grammy award and give a great speech
Could I end up being the owner my own company
Would I sell household hints or plan weddings for brides.
Maybe I wouldn’t be a person
Could I be a cat living with a loving family
Sipping cream from my own bowl
Would I be a wild mustang
Running free through meadows
Discovering places unknown.
Where would I be if I wasn’t doing what I’m doing?
Where would I be if I wasn’t the person I am?
Would I get the choice of where to go
Would I be able to decide what to be
Who knows where the road to life leads or where it’s come from
Who would I be, where would I be
Will remain a mystery.
