Lady Antebellum--Hello World

Traffic crawls, cell phone calls
Talk video screams at me
Through my tinted window I see
A little girl, rust red minivan
She's got chocolate on her face
Got little hands, and she waves at me
Ya, she smiles at me

Hello world
How've you been?
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel cold as steel
Broken like I'm never gonna heal
I see a light, a little hope
In a little girl
Hello world

Every day I drive by
A little white church
It's got these little white crosses
Like angels in the yard
Maybe I should stop on in
Say a prayer
Maybe talk to God
Like he is here
Oh I know he is there
Ya, I know he's there

Hello world
How've you been?
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel as cold as steel
And broken like I'm never going to heal
I see a light
A little grace, a little faith unfurled
Hello world

Sometimes I forget what living's for
And I hear my life through my front door
And I'll be there
Oh I'm home again
I see my wife, little boy, little girl
Hello world
Hello world

All the empty disappears
I remember why I'm here
Just surrender and believe
I fall down on my knees
Oh hello world
Hello world
Hello world

@ Yoda

Good luck with your quest.

I shall follow your discoveries.

Unless you think you have found your discovery.

Then I will be inclined to....smile and welcome the competition.

:-D

Glue Sucks

Really.
I had the perfect art project.
The kids were really into it.
They were quiet, listened to directions, followed directions, were excited about what they were doing.
Did their best to do a good job.
Even the ESL kids, not just my 2nd graders!!
And what happens???
The glue doesn't stick.
What happens now???
The two sides of the cardboard paper are different material...substance...whatever.
I knew it would take some holding by the kids to get the thick paper to stay in place long enough for the glue to dry.
But no such luck
Grass Green side doesn't like Shiny Green side.
At all.
On top of it, I lost my huge bottle of Elmers white glue.
Sometime between first ESL class Tuesday and second ESL class Thursday.
Teacher/kids in first class swear that it's not in their classroom.  And I thought I remembered taking it out.
But nowhere on/around my office desk.
Nowhere in 2nd grade classroom.
Kids stick/slimy glue I think just doesn't hold well enough.
Made for common writing/printer/thin art paper.
Staplers it is.
But how to staple a hat together with this design?
With talent, my dear, talent.
And still, it turns into more of a bowler's hat than a leperchaun's.
Oh well, we tried.
