Death..

He said I lost my daddy, when I was eight years old,
That cave-in at the Kincaid mine left a big old hole,
And I lost my baby brother, my best friend and my left hand
In a no win situation in a place called Vietnam
And last year I watched my loving wife, of fifty years waste away and die
And I held her hand til her heart of gold stopped pumping,
So this ain't nothin'
 -Craig Morgan

Hero

Cause I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
By then I'll be as strong as superman
We'll be just alike, hey won't we dad
When I can do everything you do
Cause I've been watching you
-Rodney Atkins

It blows my mind to think that in 8 years this could be me and my son..

Failure

My Biggest fear is failure. Why am I failing everyday then? Why can't I get those good grades? Why can't I be the friend for people that I need in my life? Why don't I just get over my pride and help those in need? Because I am a failure. I'm living in my biggest fear.

Chicks Dig It

Hey y'all.. watch this
Daddy's belt, momma's drapes
Standin' tall on the backyard shed
Lookin' cool in my superman cape
I told the the neighborhood girl
Say hey y'all watch this
My fate was a broken arm
My reward one big kiss
When daddy asked me why I did it
I made him laugh out loud when I told him
'Cause the chicks dig it

Scars heal, glory fades
And all we're left with are the memories made
Pain hurts, but only for a minute
Yeah life is short so go on and live it
'Cause the chicks dig it
-Chris Cagle

Oreos Are On My Mind

Just because I'm a superhero doesn't mean that I'm not afraid of things... I can never eat another Oreo...

Just Do It

So you're standing in the middle of the thunder and lightning
I know you're feeling like you just can't win, but you're trying
It's hard to keep on keepin' on, when you're being pushed around
Don't even know which way is up, you just keep spinning down, 'round, down…

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

So hold your head up and tell yourself that there's something more
And walk out that door,
Go find a new rose, don't be afraid of the thorns
'Cause we all have thorns
Just put your feet up to the edge, put your face in the wind
And when you fall back down, keep on rememberin'

Every storm runs, runs out of rain

Living or Achieving?

Are we living?  I know we're alive... But are we living?  Are we going about day to day trying to get the most out of life?

“The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, a new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channeled toward some great good.” -Brian Tracy

As humans we have the capability to become.  That's something special that all of us have within us. We all want to become something that is special or means something to someone. But we have all experienced the fear of failure. And sometimes... We are our worst critic and we tear ourselves down when, in reality, we should be our own biggest fan. We all want to make a difference but maybe we don't want to be mocked. Well don't let 'striking out' get in your way following your dreams!
