for the first time

She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart
While i'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar
And we don't know how we got into this mad situation
Only doing things out of frustration

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
She needs me now but I can't seem to find a time
I've git a new job now in the umemploymentline
And we don't know we got into this mess it's a gods test
Someone hulp us cause we're doing our best

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
But we're gunna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night
Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time

She's in line at the door with her head held high
While I just lost my job but didn't lose my flight
But we both know how we're gonna make it work when it hurts
When you pick yourself up you get kicked in the dirt

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
But we're gunna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears

Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time

Drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah
We're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time
For the first time
Oh, for the first time
Yeah, for the first time

Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby


Oh these times are hard
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

God Said

By Claudia Menden Weisz

I asked God to take away my pride.

God said "No.

It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up."

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.

God said "No.

Her spirit is whole, her body was only temporary."

I asked God to grant me patience.

God said "No.

Patience is a by-product of tribulations;

it isn't granted, it is earned."

I asked God to give me happiness.

God said "No.

I give you blessings, happiness is up to you."

I asked God to spare me pain.

God said "No.

Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares

and brings you closer to me."

I asked God to make my spirit grow.

God said "No.

You must grow on your own,

but I will prune you to make you fruitful."

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.

God said "No.

I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things."

I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me.

God said..."Ahhhh....finally you have the idea!"

Meanings

Author Unknown

Standing for what you believe in,

Regardless of the odds against you,

and the pressure that tears at your resistance,

...means courage.

Keeping a smile on your face,

When inside you feel like dying,

For the sake of supporting others,

... means strength.

Stopping at nothing,

And doing what's in your heart,

You know is right,

...means determination.

Doing more than is expected,

To make another's life a little more bearable,

Without uttering a single complaint,

...means compassion.

Helping a friend in need,

No matter the time or effort,

To the best of your ability,

...means loyalty.

Giving more than you have,

And expecting nothing,

But nothing in return,

...means selflessness.

Holding your head high,

And being the best you know you can be

When life seems to fall apart at your feet,

Facing each difficulty with the confidence

That time will bring you better tomorrows,

And never giving up,

...means confidence.
