Mean More To Us
Mean More to Us
Best way to be is surely safe, sane and secure
Try to stop worrying about things or fewer
Be prepared for what God wants you to do
Which is having been happy and not blue.
About this I could forever go on and on
Until on knees thank God and fall upon
For peace and quiet here and more and more
This is what I have always been looking for.
Want to set standards when it comes to weight
And find myself trying to further educate
Those that become political and not polite
Causing them to fight all day into the night.
Guess what I also have heard in addition
There are sports figures under suspicion
Who for children are setting a poor example
Their trophies and rings should take and trample.
So why am I raising all of this frustrating fuss
Our children are the ones who mean more to us
Then sports world with all of its accolades
Are all bad news needing mighty big band aids.
What do you say to them remarks and apples
lodged in their ever loving throats?
Oh, and category anger is an understatement.
