A Price To High

the price of irresponsibility 
you'll not wanna pay
but sure as the sun rises
the debt will come due someday

Try  to keep in mind
thoughtless actions are never free
settling the account
can bring a strong man to his knees

So before you purchase forever grief
and play the reckless fool
remember one thing that is certain
someday the bill will come due

Indeed, the price of irresponsibility will come due one day. Wish everyone could see that. This was very moving. Love, Carolyn
