If I had my life to live over again,
\nI\u2019d dare to make more mistakes next time.
\nI\u2019d relax.
\nI\u2019d limber up.
\nI\u2019d be sillier than I\u2019ve been this trip.
\nI would take fewer things seriously.
\nI would take more chances,
\nI would eat more ice cream and less beans.<\/p>\n
I would, perhaps, have more actual troubles but fewer imaginary ones.
\nyou see, I\u2019m one of those people who was sensible and sane,
\nhour after hour,
\nday after day.<\/p>\n
Oh, I\u2019ve had my moments.
\nIf I had to do it over again,
\nI\u2019d have more of them.
\nIn fact, I\u2019d try to have nothing else- just moments,
\none after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot-water bottle, a raincoat, and a parachute.
\nIf I could do it again, I would travel lighter than I have.<\/p>\n
If I had to live my life over,
\nI would start barefoot earlier in the spring
\nand stay that way later in the fall.
\nI would go to more dances,
\nI would ride more merry-go-rounds,
\nI would pick more daisies.<\/p>\n
