IF ONLY

If only I could turn back the
clock years and years ago,
we would meet somewhere
in this world,
then we wouldn't of gone
thru hard times.
Our lives would have been filled
with blessedness, love, happiness
as we lived in the Garden of Ecstasy
But since I can't
I'm so blessed
to have you now in my life
as my partner.
So let's just grow old together
enjoying every moment
we have left on this earth,
living in the Garden of Ecstasy.
