Mat

A mat is a generic term for a piece of fabric material it is used for many things, generally placed on a floor or other flat surface, which serves a range of purposes including:

  • providing a regular or flat surface, such as a cushioned computer mousepad.
  • protecting that which is beneath the mat, such as a place mat or the matting used in archival framing and preservation of documents and paintings.
  • protecting that which is above the mat, such as a wrestling or gymnastics mat, or an anti-vibration mat.
  • serving to clean items passed over it, such as a doormat, which cleans dirt from the soles of shoes.
  • In domestic settings:

  • A doormat, more frequently spelled door-mat, is a flat, usually rectangular object placed immediately outside or inside the entrance to a house or other building, to allow people to easily scrub or wipe the soles of their shoes before entering. Doormats are usually made from tough, long-lasting material such as coir, palmyra (palm) fibres and stalks, nylon, rubber, cloth, or aluminium and other metals. Doormats may also be known as welcome mats, as their location at an entrance constitutes a "welcome" to visitors, and may therefore also bear some word, message or sign of greeting. This in turn has given rise to a subculture of cartoons featuring characters returning home to find (to the reader) a humorous message on the doormat. The lowly purpose for which doormats exist has also led to informal use of the term as a reference to people who behave timidly or passively when exploited by others (see also Caspar Milquetoast).

    All Of Me

    by: Matt Hammitt

    Afraid to love
    Something that could break
    Could I move on
    If you were torn away?
    And I'm so close to what I can't control
    I can't give you half my heart
    And pray He makes you whole
    (Chorus)
    You're gonna have all of me
    You're gonna have all of me
    'Cause you're worth every falling tear
    You're worth facing any fear
    You're gonna know all my love
    Even if it's not enough
    Enough to mend our broken hearts
    But giving you all of me is where I'll start
    I won't let sadness steal you from my arms
    I won't let pain keep you from my heart
    I'll trade the fear of all that I could lose
    For every moment I share with you
    Chorus
    Heaven brought you to this moment, it's too wonderful to speak
    You're worth all of me, you're worth all of me
    So let me recklessly love you, even if I bleed
    You're worth all of me, you're worth all of me
    Chorus (X2)
