I had no time to learn!

contest, you must include the phrase is: The pumpkin ate me and I died... Oops!

 

If I could hold

long enough

to hope and love

and don’t give up

 

Will it echo trough out the universe?

 

… Before I conclude

   The pumpkin ate me and I died...

 

Oops!

I had no time to learn!

 

If I would not let obstacles

stop me in anyway

if I could push

beyond my limits

 

Would it become something good for all?

 

… Before I realize

   The pumpkin ate me and I died...

 

Oops!

I had no time to learn!

 

If I could reinvent the self

whenever necessary,

trying to laugh away my errors

lighten up all around

 

Would I real make a difference?

 

… Before I was assured

   The pumpkin ate me and I died...

 

Oops!

I had no time to learn!

 

If I could create space

in my life

for people that need my smile

and would only have good whishes

to give away

 

Would they echo for eternity?

 

 … Before I could know for sure

   The pumpkin ate me and I died...

 

Oops!

I had no time to learn!

 

The secret

Will always be a secret

A secret going around

for ever and ever

 

Can I ever live long enough?

 

 The pumpkin ate me and I died...

 

Oops!

I had no time to learn!

It's certainly good to know you are a teacher, and others learn as a result of your efforts! I'm smiling broadly at this one, Angi. Sharon
