Would you condemn an Oak Tree because its timbers had been used to build battering rams?

Would you blame the air for allowing lies to be transmitted through it? 

Would you judge Mozart's The Magic Flute on the basis of a poorly rehearsed performance by fifth-graders?

If you had never seen the sunset over the Pacific, would you allow a tourist brochure as a substitute?

Would you evaluate the power of Romantic Love in the light of an abusive marriage next door?

 

No. 

The real evaluation of the Truth depends upon looking at the clean, pure water, not at the rusty containers.

 

Hmm..... Enlightening.

In My Life

so, lately... I've been thinking a lot about lyrics and it seems I'm always finding application to them in my life. I could post at least 20 songs right now that I've been thinking about... and maybe I'll do more than one-- I haven't decided, but this is the one that hit me most recently... So- To whomever this post belongs... It's to you. :)

It's a hard time finding words,
when you do what do you say first,
to the one you love- unrehearsed,
and nobody else in the world.


Oh, the time needs to slow down,
need to gather my thoughts now,
and I can't say it too loud,
but how did you find me girl.


Don't wanna wait til it's over,
to tell you,
you were more than I wanted,
too much to lose,
and I wouldn't be who I am,
if you hadn't been in my life.
you hadn't been in my life...


Now it seems like a long time,
like you've known me my whole life,
like the stars know the moonlight,
and there's nothin' I'd rather do,
than spend my life lovin' you.


Don't wanna wait til it's over,
to tell you,
you were more than I wanted,
too much to lose,
and I wouldn't be who I am,
if you hadn't been in my life.
you hadn't been in my life...


And there you are,
With open arms,
We've come so far,
And you should know.....................


Don't wanna wait til it's over,
to tell you, 
you were more than I wanted,
too much to lose,
and I wouldn't be who I am,
if you hadn't been in my life.


Don't wanna wait til it's over,
to tell you,
you were more than I wanted,
too much to lose,
and I wouldn't be who I am,
if you hadn't been in my life.
you hadn't been in my life...
