I
once lived in a house, on quail,
But
the house burned down –
I
tried to put it out, but I failed!
Oh!
Yes, it burned to the ground!
We
lost pretty much everything –
Looking
back, I just wonder why?
I’m
still alive – so I don’t complain!
And
little good it does to cry –
My
heart is still filled with guilt,
As
thoughts race through my mind!
It
was like watching memories wilt,
And
only helpfulness I could find –
I
once lived in a house, on quail,
But
regrets never serve one well!
