If I  Were To Start All Over!

By John Tamakloe

If I  Were To Start All Over!  

 

If I were to start

All over, Is an Expression 

Of an Honest Self-Assessment

Done With a View to 

Improving One’s Life. “

An unexamined

Life, is Not worth Living”  

 

If YOU were to Start

All Over, What will You 

Do anew, Retain Or Do Away

With, And Why? This 

Calls for Deep Thinking, 

Do so Regularly! 

 

If I were to Start

All Over, these are 

Things I’ll Retain, Do anew 

Or Not Do! Based on 

My Personal 

Life’s experiences! 

 

If I were to start 

All over, I’ll Not change 

My Faith or belief In God

This Is A non-negotiable 

Proposition! I’ll add unto 

My knowledge, Understanding 

So as to grow Wiser; Thus 

Walking closer With God. 

 

If I were to start 

All over, I’ll not 

Trust and Or commit 

My ways Fully  to Man 

It is A dangerous thing 

To do, this I’ll Avoid. 

Experience indeed, is The Best 

Teacher!  

 

If I were to start 

All over, I’ll not be 

Your friend, You’ll 

Only be an Acquaintance

I’ve regretted knowing 

And Being around You! 

No value added! 

 

If I were to start 

All over, You’ll still 

Be my Friend 

Because You’ve added 

Value to My Life. Your

Godly advices, warnings etc 

Has Saved Me from 

Dangers! And Has brought 

Me this Far! 

I’m forever Grateful!  

 

If I were to start 

All over, I’ll avoid 

Conflicts that Only 

Wearied And vexed my Soul 

And Spirit, depriving Me 

Of joy, peace and Happiness

Seeing that I’m here 

Today, Gone tomorrow!  

 

If I were to start 

All over, my motto 

Will still be “ In the 

Midst of the Unwise, it

Is foolishness to be Wise”

I’ll not “ cast my Pearls

Before Swines’” As instructed 

By the Lord Jesus! Read it!!

 

If I were to start 

All over, I’ll adopt the 

Principles “ if you are Not

Invited, don’t go” if 

You are not Told, don’t 

Ask” ignorance Is Bliss! 

If they value you, value them 

Love all, trust a few 

Do wrong To None! 

 

Yes, I don’t know 

If you have to start 

All over, what you’ll retain,

Avoid or Add to who/what 

You are Today. But here is 

What I’ll retain, avoid or add 

To my Life! It is never 

Too late. Each Day

Is an opportune time. 

 

Experience Is the Best Teacher,

learn and be guided by it, else!
