I left that emotion long ago
No regrets or remorse of you I know

The rutted road I took that day
somtimes muddied, I made my way

Between the ruts on smoother ground
I carried my babes safely and sound

Losing loved ones now and then
frozen water filled the ruts icey thin

Casting off the snakey skin
new life I found again

New beginnings forgotten past
happiness returns at last

Not so quick to forget
a candle of the past relit

Against my will a virus lurks
infesting thoughts, just odd quirks

My mind surprises me with messages
I keep wondering while it suggests.
