it's new years eve and the whole resolutions thing reminds me of john mayer's "st patrick's day". it's one of my favourite songs.. it's really good. i know i keep saying this and that is my favourite but the truth is i've only got 4 songs that really stick to me. that's me i guess. if you ask me to think of a special memory or great moment.. i'll picture this film in my head and immediately a song comes up to accompany it. melodramatic you may say but "that's the way it is.." see, it happens again.. another song. i digress. well, decided against partying to usher in the new year preferring instead to spend it in a more sombre and perhaps more meaningful way. i saw this poem some time back and it caught me and i stood transfixed to it for quite a while. i read it every now and then and wonder whether.... have a read.. really strikes a chord with me. happy new year everyone. i'm hoping it'll bring cheer and more magic moments.. "magic moments times that we've been sharing" *whistles*
all of my life and longer
All of my life i've been searching for answers,
without knowing which questions to ask.
All of my life i've been looking for The One,
but this is no simple task.
All of my life i've been waiting for someone,
to make my small half whole.
All of my life i'm meeting new friends,
while trying to stay linked to the old.
All of my life i've been trying too hard..
trying to grow up too fast.
All of my life i've been moving on to the future,
yet fondly holdng on to the past.
All of my life i've been laughing and crying
and living as much as i can.
All of my life i've been told to walk slowly through time..
so why does it seem like I ran?
For the rest of my life, i'll try very hard
to take smaller steps in my walk
For the rest of my life, i'll dance and sing,
instead of muttering the words that i talk
For the rest of my life,
'll cherish the many gifts that i've been given
For the rest of my life, i'll live it to my best,
to make the world a better place to be lived in
For the rest of my life, i'll keep my eyes open,
searching for less while hoping to be found
For the rest of my life, i'll keep my heart open..
surely one day Fate will come round
all of my life i've been wondering..
should i settle or be wild and run free?
for the rest of my life i'll try to stop for a moment;
look deep inside... and just be me...
