Why try to bring back pleasure,
          Of the past, n'er again?
Never again hold that treasure,
          Where for real or your pen.

Look ahead where the future lies,
          Walk briskly to your chance;
And not to moan, neither to cry.
          When you're there take your stance.

Ahhh, I've given up on the past,
          I've made my bed to sleep,
I have no need the past to ask,
          I've buried it all; deep.

Good morning Jerry.
My friend I don't care how deep you bury it, it works it's way to the surface somehow, someway, someday. But you already know that.

deep where it belongs
may it by buried in the devil's tomb where pain belongs, never to hurt again, we can only pray

Thanks Emma, like Lori said though, they have ways of resurfacing.

fine 'write!'

The 'past' is irrevocable, the 'future' as yet powerless to be born,
we have only the 'now' of infinite potential with which to paint the
world in bright, delicious colors.
