If He Walked Into My Life

Did he need a stronger hand?
Did he need a lighter touch?
Was I soft or was I tough?
Did I give enough?
Did I give too much?
At the moment that he needed me
Did I ever turn away?
Would I be there when he called
If he walked into my life today?
Were his days a little dull?
Were his nights a little wild?
Did I overstate my plan?
Did I stress the man
And forget the child?
And there must have been a million things
That my heart forgot to say
Would I think of one or two
If he walked into my life today?
Would I blame the times I pampered him?
Or blame the times I bustеd him?
What a shame I never really found thе boy
Before I lost him
Were the years a little fast?
Was his world a little free?
Was there too much of a crowd?
All too lush and loud
And not enough of me?
Though I'll ask myself my whole life long
What went wrong along the way
Would I make the same mistakes
If he walked into my life today?
