Red Alert

 
I should have listened to their advice
I should have heeded to all the warnings
But all the should haves are useless now
And could have avoided all the mournings

Then again when a young and restless heart
Desires and needs for a great escapade
Nothing can stop it no matter how smart
Until it realizes there are dues to be paid

But that’s the price we all have to pay
Life’s bumps and bruises have a cost
We learn little by little day to day
Even in those times when we feel lost

Now here I am remembering years passed
Reading pages from my old red book
Captured in verse like a blast from the past
Along with every emotion it took

I should have listened to their advice
But what’s a young man in love to do
Life’s bumps and bruises have a price
When a restless heart goes to pursue
