Do you ever sit and think, what if? What if you had never said the first hello? Or what if your paths never crossed? What if you kept your mouth shut and just let things pass? What if you had just 5 more minutse... What if you could turn back time and make it all stand still? Where would your life be? Better? Worse? Less confusing? More? Happier or sadder? ...Just, what if...
When I was young and free my imagination had no limits. I dreamed of changing the world;
As I grew older and wiser I realized the world would not change.
And I decided to shorten my sights somewhat and change only my country. But it too seemed immovable.
As I entered my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I sought to change only my family, those closest to me, but alas they would have none of it.
And now here I lie on my deathbed and realize (perhaps for the first time) that if only I'd changed myself first, then by example I may have influenced my family and with their encouragement and support I may have bettered my country, and who knows I may have changed the world.
--Written by an Angelican Bishop--
In life there is always going to be that one person you'll never forget. The one who you just happened to cross paths with. The one who you know you wouldn't be the same with out. Even if you just met them or have known them your whole life... They leave an impact on you and you'll never forget it.
