The Change

Garth Brooks

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 
The 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 

This post marks my announcement that I will no longer be serving as a moderator for this site.  It is sadly and reluctantly that i remove myself from this position i have enjoyed so much, but due to a conflict of interest i can no longer serve the site to the proper standards that i feel i should.  Some of you might prefer to stop reading here, but if you continue reading i ask for understanding.

I have felt very alone for a long time now.  I've tried to be ok being alone, tried to fill my life with friends or work, but i have been alone and empty.  A few years ago i meant a great young lady i loved a great deal and tried to make it work but we were just too different.  I'd just about given up hope when something i wasn't expecting happened.  While working closely with a young man at work i realized i was starting to fall in love with him.  i was very confused and lost and tried to ignore the feelings and even just try to replace them with feeling for other people, but in the end i could no longer deny what i felt and how strong it was.  Finally after quite some time i made my feelings known, and have now started to work towards a relationship with this individual.

I'm not posting this to raise eyebrows or cause a stir.  many people have been asking about my life and i have been misleading them as of late.  i have not lied, but i have let them be mislead.  i'm not advocating a life style, looking for praise or acceptance, or asking for trouble.  I don't intend to make this an issue past this post and this will not define me.  The issue i have is i feel that the young man deserves to not have me ashamed to honor him and claim him as the vital part of my life he has become.  I'm sorry for letting down any one who is let down and if this upsets you as to what is acceptable for content on the site, i tried to keep it as to the point as possible.

I'm still the same person you've all known, the world has not changed me.....
