Just wondering...

If you weren’t here today

Breaking bread; making toast

Where else would you be?

Raking head; crossing coasts

If you weren’t this old

Crossing legs; dreadful boasts

How young were you?

Drinking pegs; thinking ghosts

If you hadn’t failed

Making faces; shedding tears

How would you recognize success?

Taking paces; gulping beers

If this path you hadn’t taken

Pleasing people; forcing smiles

Would you have followed your heart’s desire?

Chasing tweeple; making piles

If you had never broken up

Being nice; breaking hearts

Would you know true love?

Much more wise; playing the right parts

If you weren’t slogging night and day

Pulling socks; tying ties

Would you be bungee jumping?

Over rocks; tasting pies

If you were not earning just this much

Listening Shakira; dreaming big

Would you be a millionaire?

Drowning tequilas; taking digs

If you weren’t moonstruck

Singing songs; moaning wrongs

Would you be starstruck?

Earning dollars; lifting collars

If you had lived a perfect life

Racing cars; raking galleons

Will you have ever learnt?

Braving scars, life’s true medallions?
