a lot of people forget about the simple things in life
a quite walk alone
a good conversation
a caring feeling for others

a lot of people take things for granted
a place to live
a good friend
a job

a lot of people forget simple words
a good morning
a hello
a how are you

a lot of people think that their problem is the worst
a bill collector calling
a thought of illness
a love gone bad

a lot of people get upset at objects
when something won't start
when something gets in their way
when something hurts them

a lot of people take out their frustrations on objects
a door
a wall
a piece of furniture

a lot of people like to pass blame
you were suppose to do it
you never told me
you never listen

a lot of people create their own problems
bill collectors calling
the electricity about to be shut off
saying the wrong thing

when is it time to change
what does it take
what has to happen

a lot of these thoughts are imbedded in you
some people have to learn the hard way

where does one start
can one actually change
and will it cost something

yes, it cost time

it's about you being second
it's about reading
it's about a relationship

it's about one person
he's kind
he's forgiving
he's loving

and he has always been there

why do we never trust the right person
why do we deal with the wrong

do you want to change
do you want a different life
