#squander
Caught your long lost locks, blonde through the silver fog, flitting away or could it have been toward? Once, I would have thought it's just a dream and not real, warm flesh to flesh, volcanic breath to breath. Best not waste a good thing in the face of your favorite catch. A master of their craft can't manipulate the longing pain.

That Longing Pain
Yes, I regret The scornful dissipation Of my salad days When I was strong, Believe me, They didn’t last too long, Believe me, They didn’t last too long. Yes, I regret All that I squandered O’er the course Of about fifteen years, Believe me, I’ve cried quite a sea of tears, Believe me, I’ve cried quite a sea of tears, Yes, I regret If I e’er acted cavalierly Towards any who sought to love me With a trusting heart, Believe me, I’m not so proud of my past, Believe me, I’m not so proud of my past.

Yes, I Regret
Most people sacrifice long term substantial gains for short term fleeting pleasures and so they squander their inheritance which consists of blissful heavenly treasures.

Simple Observation #227 - Most people sacrifice long term....
Cardboard doubles as shredded sheets "Spare a little change, trying to make ends meet Just seeking refuge from the cold and sleet" Well, the Savior didn't have a place to lay His head So maybe they're closer to Him than I am But people see the signs All they do is stare Wonder, what's he done and where's she been? I couldn't cast the stone cuz my record ain't clean No one gave me the judgement rod And you, sir, don't look like God Driving by rolling up your windows and down your nose "Probably for drugs," your judgments say "Lazy *** will squander it away" As if you and I never fail, please don't forget we've just been given a better circumstance, missed some unfortunate happenstance Do you squander love? Waste your privilege? We're all the same Skin bones and blood And I know I'm begging for change on the streets of human love Forgetting I've been given grace from the Divine Covered by love that looks like water blood and wine Maybe my friend the "homeless *** is really a bit closer to the One
