Never

Somethings we may never do again Because of once getting burned So we jump on the "never train", When from a painful lesson we have learned Some say they would never drink again But once the hangover is gone, They drink once more, it's insane, Here comes never, rising with the dawn If you say you never will Beware, never might return, And never, once more, will fit the bill Will we never learn?

Some 'never' learn, my dear friend. It seems the word never is addiction, that's difficult to break. Your thoughts hold so much truth. Many wonderful blessings to you. Hugs, Brandy
