If I had

It hunted me almost my entire life
It dominated and made things impossible in my life
It delayed and destroyed many things in my life
And it made my life more difficult
If I had this in my life,things would been different now
If I had this,I would have achieved more and better things in my life
If I had this earlier in my life,I would have been a wonderful man
Life is like a ball game
Sometimes you make it to become the champion
Sometimes you get eliminated in the early stages of the tournament
Sometimes you level the points to battle for the championship title
And sometimes you don't qualify at all
Lo! There is always hope even though you don't make it in the first place
Life is fair and the world is full uncertainty and too much with us
Life is full of dreams
And life is full of hope
So, if I had this in my life, nothing was impossible
If I had this, things would been different now
I should have won many games, drew less and lost less
I should have found the target, score more goals and less hit the crossbar
And I could have been the top scorer in the scoring chart
My talent, my abilities, my ideas, my values, my passion and my ambition would have been recognized
If I had this in my life, I would have been on the top of the mountain
If I had this, I would have reached at the summit
And If I had this, I would have touched the sky
Maybe it's the time for "them" to realize how much I need them and their blessings
Maybe it's the time for "Him" to forgive me and reward me for the amazing plants I have planted in this hard-hitting world
Even now it is still not the end of it, I still believe I will get the best way to deal with it
Life is fair and the world is too much with us
And life goes on when the world ticks
