Lyrics for the day

Rich Mullins said 
(in a song),
"I'd rather fight you for something
I don't really want than take what you give that I need."
Sometimes
I think he was talking
about
my students

who seem to
consistently
constantly
complain
about something
anything really

making my work
feel
never enough

Bad English said
(also in a song),
"Sometimes I want to give up
I want to give in, I want to quit the fight"

and maybe they were talking about me,
but there's always tomorrow
and tomorrow
usually
arrives fresh
(if not refreshed)

another opportunity to provide
a lesson
instruction
encouragement
something perhaps
that they need
