Don't let yourself  forget so easily,
Don't let wisdom come and go,
Hold onto your painful memories,
There's love in each to bestow.

Don't let yourself forget so easily,
The lesson is not quite yet taught,
And if you learn a thousand times,
Your toiling won't be all for naught.

Don't let yourself forget so easily,
Love is yours to give not keep,
If you stumble on the heartless,
May your heart embrace the weak.

Don't let yourself forget so easily,
Don't let yourself be fooled to hate,
The lesson is just the beginning,
To love all is your final fate.

Something spurred from a conversation with a deviant the other day. He'll probably hate this, but I'm okay with that. You don't have to love my thoughts or work to be my friend.

Love the picture so much...an old, sagacious wolf...what better symbol of learning, loving, and remembering?

I love this line:

Thanks. Yes, this came about after a kind of gruesome, rough thing happened down here (the story about it is in my piece "Involuntary Suicide"). I was told to not hold onto the thoughts too long...but I felt that I needed to.

PS: LOVE LOVE LOVE your tag. Awesome.

Ah. Bohemian Rhapsody and Queen are my loves sort of bands...him and his father can head bang to them all day long.

Thank you very much. I'm happy to see people enjoying my muses...
