Some Days

Some days you'll need the open road and loud nostalgic music
You'll need phone calls with family and conversations with old friends
Some days you'll need the rain and you'll need the window down
Some days you'll need to get out of the car and take a picture in the middle of the road
Or pull over to watch the sunset
Most days you'll need a cup of coffee and an open Bible
And you'll need to get a refill on both

Some days you just need to be reminded that today is another day
And you'll need to do things to remind yourself that you're you and you're alive to live

But everyday we will need each other
And we will need to be reminded that we aren't alone
Everyday we will need meaningful hugs and hopeful smiles
We will need to hear we are loved and that it's ok for us to be ourselves
Some days we will have to ask to be told these things
Other days honest words of love will be freely spoken into our lives

And those are the days we live for
Those are the days that keep us alive
And being alive is a good thing
