TOO OFTEN?






TOO OFTEN?




How often have you wished your life away?
Just like wishing Monday were a Friday,
Or hours were days and days were weeks
`Cause it`s the time ahead that your heart seeks.


...~....~.....~ probably too often ~.....~....~...


How often has folly been your trait?
Rushing into things `cause you couldn`t wait,
Not stopping to think what the outcome may be
As far as your nose is all you could see.


...~....~.....~ Probably Too Often ~.....~....~...


The tragedy of this is plain to see
Because life plays tricks on you and me,
In wishing time away for a special date
Old age came too soon and wisdom too late.


...~....~.....~ Now I Bet You Wish You Hadn`t ~.....~....~...
