Don't you ever listen - enough to make my ears burn, I went back - there were lessons and now it's my turn; You treat people as you would expect them to treat you, take stock, go thro' this life, don't mess up, whatever you do. Why did I do the things that hppened, was it just me? Broken hearts, scattered lives, , it really was a mystery, you think - I'm not a bad guy but lack responsibility, I suppose be thankful, could have been worse, that's me. A free prisoner, could have been locked up, no room now, for indiscretions, poor decisions, but too late anyhow; ironic, I married a teacher but you don't listen to her,   so many times and then it's just gone when they occur. I'm left eating sweets in a corner like Little Jack Horner, write on the white board boy - be contrite and never forget her.

Back To School
Don't you ever listen - enough to make my ears burn, I went back - there were lessons and now it's my turn; You treat people as you would expect them to treat you, take stock, go thro' this life, don't mess up, whatever you do.

Whatever we write will never be enough. My wife passed away earlier this year. .
