If Only
I had my own house
I’d be fine
If Only
I had my own stuff
I’d have a big smile
If Only
I had more money
I’d be content
If Only
I had designer clothes
I’d feel confident
If Only
I had a snazzy car
I’d feel uplifted
If Only
I had a sleek laptop
I’d not worry a bit
If Only
I had more shoes
I’d be happier than before
If Only
I had gourmet food
I’d no longer feel sore
If Only
I had the new Wii
I’d be just like my mates
If Only
I had the XBox
I’d be one of the greats
If Only
I had a flatscreen TV
I’d feel fulfilled
If Only
I had the IPhone
I’d need nothing else
If Only
I’d known that having all I want
Would make me want much more
If Only
I’d known the answer to true bliss and happiness
Was not to have wanted all this before

29 June 2009 at 10:20 pm@ Ersa: =) Yep, I notice most of us (me included — except when it came to the XBox etc) set goals to achieve ‘things’ and then once achieved we just want more and more…when are we ever going to be satisfied with what we have?
@ AD: Oh…I’ll look it up if it’s on your blog. My problem is that things have to rhyme and then sometimes, I think, I lose out on the meaning! =S
Thanks for the comment =)
