= __ **POETRY** __ = = = **A Friend I Can Count On** When troubles come a callin’ As those [|gremlins] often do, And my spirit keeps on fallin’ Till I feel low down and blue…When I look around for comfort, Someone quickly jumps to mind, One who always will support me, And whose words are always kind.Who will make my mood feel lighter, Who’ll help beat my troubles back, He/She makes the sun shine brighter And gets my spirit back on track.Who helps the road seem straighter, And helps me get around each bend, Who makes each day seem greater, And that someone is you, my friend. //By [|Joanna Fuchs]//

Special Hero
© Christina M. Kerschen

When I was a baby, you would hold me in your arms. I felt the [|love] and tenderness, keeping me safe from harm. I would look up into your eyes, and all the [|love] I would see. How did I get so lucky, you were the dad chosen for me. There is something special about a father's love. Seems it was sent to me from someplace up above. Our[| love] is [|everlasting], I just wanted you to know. That you’re my special hero and I wanted to tell you so.

**[|"Days Go By"]**
[|Keith Urban]

I'm changing lanes I'm talking on the phone I'm drivin' way to fast And the interstate's jammed with Gunners like me afraid of coming in last But somewhere in the race we run We're coming undone

Days go by I can feel 'em flying [|Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by] It's all we've been given So you better start livin' right now 'Cause days go by

Out on the roof just the other night I watched the world flash by Headlights, taillights running through a river of neon signs But somewhere in the rush I felt We're losing ourselves

Days go by I can feel 'em flying Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by It's all we've been given So you better start livin' right now 'Cause days go by

We think about tomorrow then it slips away We talk about forever but we've only got today

And the days go by I can feel 'em flying Like a hand out the window As the cars go by

It's all we've been given So you better start livin' You better start livin' Better start livin' right now

Cause days go by I can feel like 'em flying Like a hand out the window in the wind as the cars go by

It's all we've been given So you better start livin' right now

Cause days go by These days go by

So take 'em by the hand They're yours and mine Take 'em by the hand And live your life Take 'em by the hand Don't let 'em all fly by

Come on, Come on now Don't you know the days go by

**"How Far We've Come"** [|Matchbox 20]

Hello Hello Hello

Waking up at the start of the end of the [|world], But it's feeling just like every other morning before, Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone, The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour And I started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?

I believe the [|world] is burning to the ground Oh well I guess we're gonna find out Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come Well I believe it all is coming to an end Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend, Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come

I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know And I can't remember caring for an hour or so Started crying and I couldn't stop myself I started running but there's no where to run to I sat down on the street took a look at myself Said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell Say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to

I believe the [|world] is burning to the ground Oh well I guess we're gonna find out Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come

Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend, Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come

It's gone, gone, baby, it's all gone There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home It was cool cool, it was just all cool Now it's over for me and it's over for you Well it's gone, gone, baby, it's all gone There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home Well it was cool cool, it was just all cool Now it's over for me and it's over for you

I believe the world is burning to the ground Oh well I guess we're gonna find out Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend, Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come Let's see how far we've come [|Let's see how far we've come]
