but when the little fellow came close and put both arms around his mother, and kissed her in an appealing boyish fashion, she was moved to tenderness

i can make a mess like nobody's business

i remember a man who was true to himself

if he put his mind to something it was done

he could

help everyone just by doing what he loved

he could work with his hands so good

but when no one

cares to know

that he works them to the bone. he comes home to himself and he sits in his chair

gets lost inside pictures on the wall

he's

had some loves in his life that he's lost but knows why

he's lived with mistakes for so

long.he's the best man that i know

he sleeps happy all alone

he gives me

hope for the best in everyone

in understanding what we've done

i laugh to myself

it gives me

hope for the best for what we lost

to understand when no one wants

it makes me laugh

it gives

me hope. i know this lady who grew up so quickly

she had a child when she was so young

without the time

or money to pursue what she wanted

she slowly lost touch with her love

i bet she tried to run

but she didn't have the guts to leave her

son who was born on a day in the spring

grew up to

respect her so much

for all that she had lost and for never giving up

for loving the mistake

that she loved.well lady you deserve more than anyone i know

you give me

hope for the best in everyone

in understanding what we've done

i laugh to myself

it gives me

hope for the best for what we lost

to understand when no one wants

it makes me laugh

it gives

me hope. i'm sitting alone and i think to myself

it'd be great if people could know

if we wore big tags

or we threw big parties where only lost people could go

so we'd never think we're wrong

and

we'd never feel alone.alone.
