MrAerospace 10 Posted August 28, 2012 [TABLE=align: center] [TR] [TD=width: 600, align: left] [h=1]Having just read this in the SAARP newsletter, I thought I would pass it on... POEM - I'd pick more daisies[/h][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=width: 600, align: left] If I had my life to live over again, I'd not be afraid of more mistakes, next time. In fact, I'd relax a lot more. I'd limber up, I'd be sillier than I had been on this trip. In fact I know very few things that I'd take so seriously. I'd take more chances; I'd take more trips, I'd climb more mountains. I'd go more places than I'd ever been before I'd have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones. You see I was one of those people that lived prophylactically and sanely and sensibly hour after hour, day after day. Oh I've had my moments and if I had to live all over again I'd try to have more of those moments. In fact I would try to have nothing else but wonderful moments, side by side by side, instead of living so many years ahead of my time. I was one of those people who never went anywhere without a thermometer, a hot-water bottle, a gargle, a raincoat and a parachute. If I had it to do all over again, I'd travel lighter next time. If I had my life to live over again, I'd play with more children. I'd pick more daisies. I'd love more. If I had my life to live over again. But you see I don't. We're given only one. This was first published in the Reader's Digest, October 1953 issue with the title "I'd pick more daisies", where it was attributed to Don Herold (1889-1966). Another version has been attributed to Nadine Stair. [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
