Express.

I've debated about how to blog about this for a long time.  Did you know I struggle expressing my feelings? Well...I do.  It's hard for me to publicly express really anything personal. That's why I always blog about pointless things. :)

Don't get your panties in a bunch...this isn't anything deep.  I just want you all to know I have AMAZING people in my life.  This may be cheesy and  corny and any  other adjective that emphasizes that I know this is a bit lame, but this is how I express myself.   So enjoy.  Or don't. Whatever. :)

The other day as I was running jaunting, this song came on my i-pod.  And I thought to myself--Self: this pretty much sums up how you feel about the people in your life.

 I've heard it said

That people come into our lives for a reason

Bringing something we must learn

And we are led

To those who help us most to grow

If we let them

And we help them in return

Well, I don't know if I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you

Like a comet pulled from orbit

As it passes a sun

Like a stream that meets a boulder

Halfway through the wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

But because I knew you

I have been changed for good

It well may be

That we will never meet again

In this lifetime

So let me say before we part

So much of me 

Is made of what I learned from you

You'll be with me

Like a handprint on my heart

And now whatever way our stories end

I know you have re-written mine

By being my friend...

Like a ship blown from its mooring 

By a wind off the sea

Like a seed dropped by a skybird

In a distant wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

But because I knew you

I have been changed for good

And just to clear the air

I ask forgiveness

For the thing I've done you blame me for

But then, I guess we know

There's blame to share

And none of it seems to matter anymore

Who can say if I've been 

Changed for the better? 

But, because I knew you,

I have been changed for good.
