When someone you love is sad
there's only so much you can do
to make them smile again
When someone you love is scared
there's only so much you can do
to chase away the demons
When somone you love is struggling
there's only so much you can do
to help them move forward
It's hard to accept your limits
especially when it comes to helping a loved one
You may not be able to fix it at all
but what you can do every time
Be there
Keep loving them
Listen to their needs
And eventually
That will be enough

When you plan for the worst
You keep yourself safe
but you risk closing yourself off
from the best
There is so much to life
and exploring it puts you at risk
It's easy to get jaded
and close yourself off
But when you live in the dark
seeing danger everywhere
you will never get to see
the beauty in life
Expecting the worst
might keep you alive
But when you expect the best
That's when you get to live

Life happens fast
It hits hard, crushes us
So sometimes
you've gotta take a step back
This memo
That message
Those bills
Do they need to be dealt with now?
Or will they still be there?
It doesn't feel like it
The constant pressure yells
“DO IT NOW!”
“THIS IS IMPORTANT!”
But you know what?
You are important
So if you need a break
Take one
Because all of that life
It can wait

When you make a choice
some people may disagree
others may not understand
even the people you love
Sometimes
you have to walk
through miles of darkness
before you reach the light
I close my eyes
and feel the soft breeze
right in this moment
I’m at peace
Life is full of possibilities
So many paths to take
With each path, is another decision
That you will have to make
You didn’t get much done today
Nothing big, but that’s okay
You did a bunch of small things
and that itself is no small thing
I can’t be happy today
it hurts too much to try
but on days like today
it’s okay to let yourself cry
I didn’t do much today
I sat and toiled away
