Life , Deeds, Loving and Solace

Life , Deeds, Loving and Solace




My past acts have sown so very many evil seeds
 looking at a yard with many wicked little weeds
No pretty , neat scenes greeting my tearful eyes
 no absolutions in spite of so many, many tries

There were the ladies that I did so badly use
 then cast away like wornout, old dirty shoes
Too many gave their sweet hearts and their all
 to a me that was so arrogant, petty and small

The friends that I ruled so very harsh and quick
 no mercy given for I was mad and wickedly sick
Days spent gambling, drowning my life with drink
 more bad acts , looking back I can smell the stink

No escaping the wild, crazy life so very misspent
Only painful knowledge I have that I must now repent!
