IF ONLY I HAD LISTENED…

Spread the love

If only I had listened…

The advice was simple enough to read

Reduce your fat intake it said

Reduce your salt it said

Exercise regularly it said

If only I had listened.

If only I had listened…

I was told to take one tablet a day

That’s not too much you say

But when I miss taking one I still feel okay

So I stopped taking it every day

If only I had listened.

If only I had listened…

I was told it was hereditary

That it could be passed down my line in the family tree

There was no sense in this, far as I could see

There was no likelihood of it affecting me,

If only I had listened.

If only I had listened…

Please stop smoking she said

You’re slowly becoming an Alcoholic she pleaded

I told her she should stop being scared

It was all just in her head, I said

If only I had listened.

If only I had listened…

I was told we both carried the Sickle cell gene

But that didn’t stop us from being keen

To get married , they were just being mean

I had suffered so much to get this win

If only I had listened.
