If I Had To Live My Life Over
by Nadine Stair. This poem, which has been passed around and reprinted for years, has been attributed to Nadine Stair. It was supposedly written at age 85. The general consensus is that she was living in the state of Kentucky at the time she wrote the poem. We have been unable to contact any family to verify these claims.
