to be grateful

This is what it says Go placidly amid The noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others Even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit Raindrops on my windshield As I drive past your home The train tracks had me finished Had me waiting to damn long They remind how I feel When I feel It was all my fault (Call my friends up) They distract me I Call my friends up They distract me from the pain All the torment turning in and out of my brain I think its finally time I come down I come down from outer space (Got lost on the way) (Got lost on the way) (Got lost on the way) (Got lost on the way) As I wade through the river Cold water on my feet When the sky is breaking over When the angels call after me The devils in the details (They are vexatious to the spirit) And the details are inside of me If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself How can I love my mom If she can't love herself Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans Keep interested in your own career, however humble It is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery All the torture in the ballroom Turning people's pain into wealth Bloodstains on the carpet There are tears under the floor Her feelings on the shelf She left not feeling any more But let This does not blind you to what virtue there is Many people strive for high ideals and everywhere life is full of heroism Be yourself Especially do not feign affection Neither be cynical about love For in the face of all aridity and disenchantment It is as perennial as the grass Take kindly the counsel of the years Gracefully surrendering the things of youth Nurture strength of spirit to shield you from sudden misfortune But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars You have a right to be here And whether or not it is clear to you No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be And whatever your labours and aspirations In the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world Be cheerful. Strive to be happy As I wade through the river Cold water on my feet When the sky is breaking over When the angels call after me The devils in the details How can I love my mom If she can't love herself All the torture in the ballroom Turning people's pain into wealth Bloodstains on the carpet There are tears under the floor Her feelings on the shelf She left not feeling any more
