You'll be sorry |

There’s a little voice inside our heads that says that you’ll be sorry But often at the time we think that there’s no need to worry But there is something in us all that seems to know of fate And as we tend to worry not, we find we’re in a sorry state Within us all there is a sense with knowledge and insight It seems to know percentage, how to work the wrong and right And really nine times out of ten, fate tends to go its way The voice of “you’ll be sorry mate”, does speak to me each day Our parents said it to us, but sometimes they were wrong It might be that we tried so hard and for it turned out strong But often they were right as hell and truly sorry we Experience of parents, we as children could not see Growing up and learning seems to be the key of life Helping us to know the way, avoiding what is strife And when the voice of you’ll be sorry, registers to brain We listen but go onward on and take the chance again The words are just a warning, saying you could fall and burn But most of us take chances, for that is how we learn And if we tend to trip and skin our judgment when we fall We had the words of warning which then next time we’ll recall With age we all get wiser and judgments do attune We all get old too quickly and run scared all too soon And then tend not to take the road of change though it is clear Sometimes risk is worth the chance of sorry through the year |

Hindsight is always so much clearer! I should tape this to my refrigerator. LOL Rick, this is very insightful with great food for thought. |

"And then tend not to take the road of change though it is clear Sometimes risk is worth the chance of sorry through the year" Yes, it most definitely is! Enjoyed your words! |
