You had a lot of things to do today. Right? Of course. Everybody, who leads a normal life that requires sustenance, had a busy day. So, I won’t take a lot of your time. This is just a little nudge post. Just a tiny, gentle nudge.
Just something to ponder in the middle of all you’ve got to do today.
Maybe, and mind you I’m just sayin’ maybe, if you might not have done these couple of things I’m about to mention, maybe you could consider them for a few seconds.
How about figuring out how to stop all, or at least some of the wars you might have some influence over? And those don’t have to be air force bomb-dropping or army machine gun wars. Could be those harsh disagreements with those you tend to call a “loved ones.”
Or how about scheduling some peace talks? Nothing that includes any middle east nations. But talks between people who should work harder to understand and care for one another. Yeah, add that to the list.
And here’s the kicker. Did you do as much as you could have to spread true love today? (Spoiler: that’s basically a rhetorical question.) Because, of course, you DO understand that, no matter who you are, the answer is NO!
OK, maybe you’ve got things to do today that just can’t be done any other day. And maybe they’ll carry over into tomorrow. And the next day. Sure, that’s just how life is. So, don’t sweat the peace and love stuff. You can always get to those later. But maybe consider this: it’s gonna be later a lot sooner than you think.
I’ve Got Things To Do
I wouldn’t mind stopping all of the wars.
I’d be a diplomat,
If I could know for sure in my heart
That it was simple as that.
But peace will have to wait.
I can’t just change my life around.
I’m in the middle of something
That has me helplessly bound.
I’ve got things to do, and I’ve got places to go.
I’ve got people to see
And savings to grow
And though I don’t know how to see this through
I know for sure I’ve got things to do.
I wouldn’t mind spreading love in the world.
I’d work it every day.
I know that someone’s life can be changed.
When you give love away,
But love will have to wait;
We’ll have to hold that thought.
I’m on a merciless mission, and though it hurts a lot,
I’ve got things to do, and I’ve got places to go.
I’ve got people to see and futures to grow.
And though I don’t know how to see this through
I know for sure I’ve got things to do.
I’m sure someone will come along
Who could easily fit the bill.
And when they do, I’ll lend my support,
If I can ever get over this hill.
I’ve got things to do, and I’ve got places to go.
I’ve got people to see and futures to grow.
And though I don’t know how to see this through
I know for sure I’ve got things to do.
