Time Travelers

He went back in time.
So that I can have a glimpse of what’s ahead.

I asked,
“What was it you wish you would have told your dad?

“Know when you’ve already won.”

– he replied

“He had the money, he had the girl, but it never was enough.”

I asked,
“What is it you’d tell your younger self?”

“Worry less.”

– without pausing to even think about it

“None of what I worried about ever happened.”
“I’m in a great season now, but I know now that I missed out on a lot of opportunities for joy.”

He went back in time.
Met me at my present.
Now two generations could be better for it.
