BACK HOME

If I had the power to turn back the clock, go back to that house at the end of the block— The house that was HOME when I was a kid, I know.that I'd love It more now than I did.

If I could be back there at my mother's knee, and hear once again all the things she told me, I'd listen as I never listened before, For she knew so well just what life had in store.

And all the advice my dad used to give. His voice I'll remember as long as I live; But it didn't seem really Important then; What I'd give Just to live it all over again.  And what I'd give for the chance I once had, To do so much more for my mother and dad; To give them more Joy and a little less pain; A little more sunshine—a little less rain.

But the years roll on and we cannot go back, Whether we were born in a mansion or in a shack; But we can start right now—in the hour that's here, To do something more for the ones we hold dear.

And since time in its flight Is traveling so fast; Let's not spend It regretting that which is past; But let's make tomorrow a happier day by doing our "good to others—TODAY.
