Never Ask
Never Ask
“There’s something in doing what’s right.”
Never ask I was told by myself
This hole was my own endeavor
Always tried to do without wealth
Unlike brothers I favored and left
I’ll always be punished in my life
For all the troubles I bring
Thinking back on unkempt strife
I wish I could reverse everything bad
I’m still punished by my commitments
I failed to abide and keep Commandments
Mother was right I cared too much of others
And not enough for myself or brothers
Now sixty years have passed
But He made me see at last
What I should have done
Instead of what I shouldn’t have done
See this world can be cruel
If you fail to abide by His rule
I was the fool and it’s my worry
All I can say is FORGIVE ME, I’M SORRY
