we all just want to be recognized...

no matter how small
no matter how trivial
we all just want someone to say
"great job
you're the best at (insert skill here)"
what a paradox to battle
when you are to serve
expecting nothing in return
how do you trust that heaven will hold
what is so precious to you down here

"One kind word, one full hug while you pressed me to your chest and held me tight, would have been like the sun on my heart for a thousand years"

what is in us
that we would so readily be satisfied
in the words of another man
and yet our creator's words fall short
its hard to hear
when you have to tell yourself
why god loves you
better perhaps
to hear from another man

I'm not a man...so this isn't gonna count, but

"great job

Ha ha...you're the best at songwriting...as long as you have James and Franky coming behind you with the pooper scooper.

I know this wasn't the point of your blog. But it's true.
