If I Could Live My Life Over Again

 

 

If I had my chance to live my life over again

I would dare to make more mistakes next time.

 

I’d relax. I’d limber up.

I’d be sillier than I’ve been this trip.

I‘d take fewer things seriously. I‘d take more chances.

I‘d take more trips. I‘d climb up more mountains, swim more rivers.

I‘d eat more ice cream and less beans.

I‘d perhaps have more troubles, but I‘d have fewer imaginary ones.

You see, I’m one of those people who live seriously

and sanely hour after hour, day after day.

Oh, I‘ve had my moments.

And if I had to do it over again, I‘d have more of them.

In fact, I‘d try to have nothing else

just moments one after another,

instead of living so many years ahead of each day.

I‘ve been one of those persons who never goes anywhere

without a thermometer,

a hot water bottle, a raincoat and a parachute.

If I had to do it again, I‘d travel lighter than I have.

If I had to live my life over,

I‘d start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in autumn.

I‘d go to more dances.

I‘d ride more merry-go-rounds.

I‘d pick up more daisies.

Do songs count? I love poetry and words, but some songs are often apt.

 

'I can say goodbye in the morning light

but I can't watch love die in the warmth of the night.

Touch me in the morning, then just close the door,

leave me as you found me, empty as before.

 

Wasn't it yesterday we used to laugh at the wind behind us?

Didn't we run away and hope that time wouldn't try to find us?

Didn't we take each other to places where no-one's ever been?

 

I really need you near me tonight,

'cause you'll never take me there again.

Let me watch you go with the sun in my eyes

We have seen how love can grow...now we'll see how it dies'

Snow is falling

 

Snow is falling

From the sky above

Snow is falling

Put on scarf and glove

 

Snow is falling

Go look outside

Snow is falling

The old landscape it hide

 

Snow is falling

What a beautiful sight

Snow is falling

It sparkles in the light

 

Snow is falling

Soft cotton wool flakes

Snow is falling

A white blanket it makes

 

Snow is falling

Short flowers disappear

Snow is falling

The cold is here

 

Snow is falling

Its time to play

Snow is falling

Lets make snowmen today :)

I'm trying to write a limerick that starts "There once was a man from Sri Lanka", but I'm struggling to find rhyming words for the rest of it. Can anyone help?

 

There once was a man from Sri Lanka

Who worked as an investment banker

One day at Credit Suisse,

He said "Darn! Good Zeus"

I am actually a bit of a ........

 

 

Nah, can't do it :|
