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
