If

If
By Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way [...]

Susan Ashton - You Move Me

This song has also been recorded by Garth Brooks, but this one is my preferred version.

This is how it seems to me
Life is only therapy
Real expensive
And no guarantees
So I lie here on the couch
With my heart hanging out
Frozen solid with fear
Like a rock in the ground
Oh, but you move me
You give me courage I didn’t [...]

Learning To Live

This song totally expresses my frame of mind right now.

By Beth Hart

I keep my head on straight
And my eyes wide open
I try to move forward
Wishing and hoping
I took a hold of myself
In the middle of November
Don’t you look back now
Is all I can remember

Like I’m leaving home
Like the clouds [...]

A Huckabee Poem

This was written by nonnie9999 and I thought it was so great that I asked to share it here.
Hey, look at me,
Could I be less sinister?
You can trust me,
I once was a minister.
So what if I preached
Against women and gays?
Let’s return to the 50’s,
Yeah, those were the days!
If you vote for me,
I’ll obliterate
That pesky division
Between [...]

OneRepublic & Timbaland - Apologize

My favorite song right now.

Apologize
By OneRepublic & Timbaland
I’m holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I’m hearing what you say but I just can’t make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you’re sorry
Didn’t think I’d turn around, and say…
It’s too [...]
