I think with the start of a new year and a new decade, and given that the moderators have stated they'd like us to self-manage our threads so they don't become too long and untenable, I am starting this new thread.
If you want to follow the long dreary road that led to this place, here it is:
Sometimes he lets that boss get in his head He can't see past that mountain of deadlines on his desk Five o'clock, he's the last one out of the gate And he gets cut off, flipped off, ticked off, out on the interstate And he wonders why this world won't leave him alone Till he hears that little voice holler, "Daddy's home"
Things that matter Things that don't
She's held on to that grudge all her life And thirty years of anger, since her dad walked out that night She thinks of all the moments that he's missed All the birthdays, ballets, first dates, it seems too much to forget She gets that call that said he don't have long She walks in, he starts crying, the past is gone
Things that matter Things that don't
Time ain't on our side Don't wanna leave this world with "Why didn't I? Why didn't I?" Yeah, why didn't I?
Sometimes I take on this world by myself Thinkin' I got all the answers, don't need anybody's help When God was right there waiting for me all along To fall down on my knees, surrender all
Things that matter, things that don't Things that matter, things that don't
I hope the title for this one will keep me focused on the right priorities as I move forward from this point, to begin another new chapter in "the book of my life".
Having said that, is anyone up for a little of the dog that bit them? Yes? No? Either way, the bar's still open, and I've got coffee and soft drinks too.
