A Fool's Passion



We all have concerns over guilt

And, for some ... it may even tilt

But, if we become so obsessed

Then, we'll be quite a bit depressed



For what is past is past and best forgotten

As there's nothing we can do to soften ...

It cannot be undone, nor can it be erased

And accepting that gives us a better face



All we need do is go on with life on a better keel

Knowing how the past deeds have made us feel

And not wanting to visit those sensitivities again

We buy ourselves a ticket upon a cleaner train



And deal with the passions that make us feel good

The ones we like to revisit, and always should ...

Those ones which don't involve any kind of guilt ...

The passions for which we live ... that don't wilt ...
