Another Day Closer to You

Right now I'm sitting here enveloped in the smell of eucalyptus.
My brother really knows how to buy a girl a present.
And I'm thinking about this little bird i saw in Home Depot.
It was flapping around, trying desperately to fly through a window. PANG!..PANG!..PANG! again and again and again. I couldn't stand it. Then I saw that there was another little bird outside perched on a pole chirping to it and the bird the inside was chirping back. The bird on the inside kept panging it's little head against the window chirping even more desperately now, and then it just gave up.
The other bird flew away,
and I felt sick.
Are we all just little birds panging our heads on glass windows
trying to have what others have?

I want to be happy with what I have now.
because things are always going to be tough.
Graduation day is no quick cure.
If not one thing, then another.

I wish I was a kid again.
When I was home schooled
and everything was full of laughter and fun.
We had acorn fights
and camp fires
My dad would get out his guitar and sing to us.
He's a Tenor^.^
Patrick was home
and Tanner was my best friend.
We would catch baby calves and pet their silky faces.
Race our bikes and watch Dragon Tales.
Everything was so simple.

My dad always sang this song:

(Just Remember I Love You) by FIREFALL

When it all goes crazy and the thrill is gone
The days get rainy and the nights get long
When you get that feelin you were born to lose
Starin' at the ceiling, thinkin of your blues

When there's so much trouble that you want to cry
The world has crumbled and you don't know why
When your hopes are fading and they can't be found
Dreams have left you waiting friends have let you down

Just remember I love you
And it'll be all right
Just remember I love you
More than I can say
Maybe then your blues will fade away

When you need a lover and you're down so low
You start to wonder but you never know
When it seems like sorrow is your only friend
Knowing that tomorrow you'll feel this way again

When the blues come cryin' at the break of dawn
The rain keeps fallin' but the rainbow's gone
When you feel like cryin' but the tears won't come
When your dreams are dyin' when you're on the run

Just remember I love you
And it'll be all right
Just remember I love you
More than I can say Just remember I love you
And it'll be all right
It'll be all right
It'll be all right
It'll be all right
