What’s Done Is Done ~ A Poem By Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet

The time has come What's done is done It can't be undone Does no good to run There's no need to cry A line from a song Will help you understand why “Cause if you run you die And I'm just too tired to care” The pills no longer help So you pray for forgiveness...

The Joy Of Life ~ A Poem By Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet
