Never Say Never

So many words come from our mouth
even sentences some of them so long
but it's generally so easy so to speak
joining words so much like singing a song

But sometimes we speak the word never
promising never to do or say something
we're mere humans who can't keep a promise
so often feel helpless can't do anything

It's a wise thing to never say never
for we are prone to fall in its a trap
you'll be reminded by someone often
never say never before you're given a rap

But no doubt as a human you'll regret
these occasions your tongue lets you down
you hate yourself getting mad within
so silly for you look a real clown

Imprint it fully on your mind
as hard as you can don't ever
the consequences of this happening
so be in charge 'don't ever say never'!

Hi Gordon, One must think and then speak and not speak before they think - never say never, for it can never be taken back. Very wise Gordon, Hugs, Jennifer.

G'day Gordon … how often do we hear the word never uttered by politicians when searching for votes on a controversial issue - very good advice indeed Gordon - Lindsay
