Appreciation

You've gotta be extra careful
With the things nearest to you
You know the closer you get to something
The tougher it is to see it

Explain to me this happiness
That you just got to experience
Or maybe that you're so blessed
That you can't even remember

That you stand here now
That you live and breathe
They're all little miracles
Just by themselves

I'll never forsake you
And I'll never take it for granted
It's fine to say "Never give up"
And "Keep chasing your dreams"

The more you spend your time talking big
The less you get done
I'll press that handful of courage against my heart
And with its help, survive another day

I'll never take it for granted
