Falling

Wallace Dean LaBenne

We fall in love
We fall from grace
We fall for fraud and on our face

We fall apart
We fall behind
We fall for sooth and someone kind

We fall off cliffs
We fall down stairs
We fall for ease and rocking chairs

We fall for dolts
We fall on ice
We fall for deals and weird advice

We fall too far
We fall in line
We fall for scams and our birth sign
