What if we did things differently
What if we didn’t waste so much time
What a difference it could make in your life
What a difference it could make in mine
I think about this often
The things I wish I had said or done
Wishing I had spent a little more time
Savoring life, laughing and having far more fun
These are the things I hear
When I am sitting next to the bed
Of a patient who is dying
These are the thoughts that spin around their head
What if, and I wish
Are the things they often say
Wishing for more moments and more time
Wishing for just one more day
Time takes on a whole new meaning
When you haven't much left to spare
Such as time with friends and family
And all the love you still have left to share
If we could learn something from them
If we start making changes now
Perhaps we would have less regret
When we take that final bow
