Fair weather friend. . .

He could buy you a bed But it won't help you sleep He could give you a watch But not his time to keep He could fly you to Verona or a mountain in the snow He won't know the places that we used to go You never know if you make the right decision when it comes to matters of the heart, but you have to start somewhere.  You think about decisions that you make that are based on not only what works for you, but what gives you financial security.  Do you count material possessions as being high on your priority list?  Are you with your partner because they can provide you with security like that?  Or is that what you are looking for in a potential mate?  You think that someone giving you tokens of love are proof of their love.  I guess it would be important to check the frequency of when those gifts are given too - whether they are to make up for things that they have missed or forgotten, or whether they are habitual gift givers anyway. I heard he's best ...

If you were the rain. . .

If you were the rain I would pray "Lord it's too dry" every night Yes, if you were the rain And I was outside, no I wouldn't run I wouldn't hide I'd just look up to the sky and I'd say Can you remember the last time that someone felt like rain to you?  If I think about all the times that life has seemed a little too dry, it has been because I have been around people who have not nurtured me or had my best interests at heart.  It is ok to be of service to others and to support where it is needed, particularly if you have a gift or talent that you can provide.  But of course, if you are called upon so many times to do the same things, that you would think, after showing them so many times, that they should know how to do it for themselves, that you can start to see why the nutrients in your earth have been used to foster others and leaving little for yourself.  It is extremely hard to be able to stand on your own and to think about what is good for ...

Reelin' in the years. . .

Stowin' away the time. . .  Your everlasting summer You can see it fading fast So you grab a piece of something That you think is gonna last But you wouldn't know a diamond If you held it in your hand The things you think are precious I can't understand Trying to grab hold of things when you should be getting a grip on yourself is a simple enough mistake.  We can often look to the outside world for people to save us when we should be looking within ourselves to really get a handle on who we are and what we have become.  We may even surprise ourselves and think that we know ourselves, that we know all there is to know, but I don't think you can ever truly know yourself unless you have been willing to strip everything away and see what stands before you.  When was the last time that you were completely honest with yourself and seen yourself through completely clear eyes?  We never really know what is precious to us, or what is precious to others, unles...

Great is Your love. . .

Always covering me. . .  Great is Your love for me  Great is Your mercy Great is Your grace Always covering me So undeserving You still look out for me Great is Your love Always covering me Whose love is the greatest in your life?  I have thought many times in my life that I have known different types of love at different points.  There have been instances where I have mistaken love for something else, or more accurately, what I thought was love, turned out to be something else.  You can never really tell if you can understand how great a love can be until it saves you from things that you never thought would happen.  You cannot understand how great a love is until it throws you into spaces and places that you never imagined that you would find yourself.  Whose mercy is the greatest in your life? Where have you come across mercy that has absolved you from all guilt?  Whose grace has been the greatest in your life?  Whe...
