Time for Some Feeling - Dolli's Song of the Week

One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
They say what good have you done
By saving just this one
It's like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm

And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me

This heart
Still believes
That love and mercy still exist
While all the hatred rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss

And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me

As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone

I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world we know
Never changes me

What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me

Changes by Garth Brooks

So, I chose this song for a very important reason.  I find myself tested as I get older to hold onto the value's my mother taught me.  What has happened to the Golden Rule?  "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You."  I strongly believe in this and I try to live my life by it.  I admit I fail occasionally and I know when I was younger I probably threw it out the window completely.

But that's what this song is dedicated to this week.  As I did dishes tonight I thought to myself about my life and my recent decisions.

I've chosen to continue to live my life in the fashion I choose.  I know I almost definitely will not change this world, but I will not let this world change me.
