Each momentās a gift,
a new chance to live
and to be the person I want.
Thereās no guarantee;
thereās just reality.
So Iāll take whatever gets doneā
whatever I get,
whatever needs met,
and every last breath
as a gift.
In the notebook
I actually wrote this song chorus a year ago, but it still feels helpful, and I hope to add verses and record it sometime soon.
Iāve worried that others might find it too cheesy and/or saccharine (as Iām aware my stuff can tend toward), so/but Iāll keep working on it, because the concept here is important and helpful to me.
It helps lift me out of stressy insistence on my plans and agendas and remind me that whatever I get/get done on any given day is, in fact, a gift! Iām still aliveāthat in itself is a gift!




I think it's hard to write uplifting stuff without sounding saccharine. And I also think that's okay! Maybe saccharine is what the world needs right now. If it's true to you, that's all that matters! ā¤ļø
