A Little Bit More Than Nothing


Still thinking, remembering,
knowing, and ever still growing,
steps taken become memories, always showing
that we're all a little bit more than nothing.

And the good will always be good,
and the bad is just the same good,
without the tainted ruffles and frills
that we allowed ourselves to throw on
like gaudy accessories in a fashion store gone wrong.

I could keep flipping through the diary in my mind
though we'll never be on the same page.
Because steps taken become memories, always showing
that we're all a little bit more than nothing.

And let it be this way until our hearts grow old
walking until we see more than what's in front of us
still thinking, remembering
knowing that we've all given and taken too much.

If "that's the way it is"
If "this is how it should be"
Remember these words, and cry out
that we're all a little bit more than nothing.

What is Love?


"Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." -Corinthians 1
