We all must wonder, now and then, if things had turned out -
Well - just plain different.
Chance path taken, page unturned or brief encounter,

Blossomed, splintered.
Might you have been the man of courage, brave upon life's battlefield,
Captain Commerce, high-flown banker, hedonistic, down-at-heel?

A Puritan of moral fibre, voice raised in praise magnificent?
Or rested in $$#ured repose, knowing your lot in quiet content?


What-ifs, Maybes and Might-have-beens fly,
Soft petals on a breeze.
What-ifs, Maybes and Might-have-beens.

Why-nots, Perhaps and Wait-and sees
