Pick a gentle metaphor:
Today, like one blade of grass
In the boundless prairie

Or today, like stepping on stone
But there are thousands of steps in a marathon
And I’ve got the shoes for it

Or today, like a typo in the story
But it’s still the best story I know

Four thousand weeks to live
And today I’ve got knotted yarn in my chest
Someday I’ll learn to stop tugging
And let it loose around my heart

With Love,

Natalie
