Justified

JUSTIFIED

There I was confidently steady when the floor dropped from my feet

Left standing there re-evaluating the decisions I had made

It seemed quite easy to blame everyone but me

But viewed honestly, maybe I had made a few mistakes

So, there I was trying to fix what I had broken

Only to find, nothing was shattered but my pride

I told no lies, professed my secrets and left nothing unspoken

If that was my sin, and you did what felt right, then I hope you feel justified

Blessings Counted

 

 

BLESSINGS COUNTED

At times I feel guilty for being so blessed

I wonder why me, what did I do to deserve all this

I try to love the world so the world will love me back

I get it ten times fold, and my thank you, I hope you accept

I count my blessings and at this point I have lost count

So many triumphs, make me soon forget

The trials I had to face that left me feeling regret

I never dwell on the trivial things and never live in the past

In The Groove

IN THE GROOVE

When I feel good, it feels really good

Want the world to feel like I do

I put it out so I get it back

A smile and a hand shake or two

When I feel bad, it feels really bad

Want to stay in and out of the cold

I'll rest and rejuvenate

Until this passing phase gets old

When I'm not sure, I'm just not sure

Never was one for making decisions

I do my thing and sometimes make mistakes

If I hurt you it was never intended

There was once a time not so long ago

I tried to find myself and my way

To define who I was and who I am now

Nothing ever stuck, I change everyday

But when I feel good, it feels totally good

Try it sometime you dictate your moods

I'm tired and over worked

But a smile puts me right back in the groove

Second Thoughts

SECOND THOUGHTS

I thought I would feel worse

But I do not

I thought my world would crumble

But it is still going on around me

I thought I would cry forever

But have not shed one tear

I thought I would be sad

But here I am laughing

I thought my heart was broken

But the pulse is still keeping time

I thought it would be hard to move on

But here I am busy with something else

I thought I'd be hurt

But I feel pretty good

I thought I was in the perfect spot already

But nothing is tying me down now

Come to think of it

There seems to be a lot of things

I really did not know

Best Medicine

BEST MEDICINE

Sometimes after a long hard day of work

I like to relax and maybe splurge

Let go and unwind

Drink a glass of wine

Reflect on the work I did

And ask myself was it all worth it

If the answer is yes, then it is a job well done

If the answer is no, then the work must go on

Until I find that one smile

That made it worth going the extra mile

There is no better sense of accomplishment

Then erasing a strangers torment

With a silly tune or simple joke

Laughter is the best medicine when things feel broke
