As we go through life
we find out how backwards it is
how clueless people are
unable to understand the blindness
the obliviousness to the world
to the way things are
you try and try and never get anywhere
you give it all and get none in return
you are there for people
but when you need, who is there for you?
you spend your life giving to people
but the second
the very first time you need somebody else
where are they?
"You mean more to me than you'll ever know"
"'just that right now I'm busy"
right now I dont feel like being there for you
I'm sorry... "whats the matter? are you o.k.??"
"you know I'm here for you if you need me...
...just not right now."
I know, its o.k. ...  I knew it felt too good
too good to be true,
I really didn't expect it.  "Expect what??"
Expect the things you told me to be true,
I just listened because it made me feel good
to at least hear it said, even if it was
just a lie.

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.

Seems that way sometimes doesn't it.
That's why I always carry a two-by-four.
Nothing like good hickory to set things straight. : )


Thanks for sharing.
God bless!


BTW
Was only joking about hickory.
I prefer another type of wood!
