The innocent are easy led when young and still naive And some become the victims of belief Sometimes little promises we should not just believe Cos habit is the wall that hides relief Lust and little fairytales too often led a stray And on that path we walk too blind to see The road that we were meant to walk was down the other way How can a blind man find where he should be? Regret does hide too often just between a lie and truth Humanity and thought can’t speak the word Gullible and innocent we are when in our youth And only in our prayers the truth is heard Where lies the happy medium of happy and content? When does the truth confront what eats the soul? I’m sure within a lifetime a second chance is sent With time enough to seek our inner goal Only just one lifetime for friends now dead don’t speak To tell of heaven and the glories there So in this now one lifetime, each one of us should seek And find the smile that happy people share |

nakdthoughts, thank you for your reply, it is a sorry state that we must deal with regret, but the lie and the truth are our prison at times. Good to see you here my friend, be well and take care. Sincerely RIck |
