Don’t ever save anything,
Save anything for a special occasion.
Being alive is a special occasion.
Let sunlight spilling through the window
Be reason enough to uncork the wine;
Let laughter echoing in the kitchen
Remind you that every heartbeat is a sign.
Wear your favourite clothes
That bring comfort to your body,
Light candles just because the night is here;
Don’t wait for perfect moments in the future,
This very moment is worth a cheer.
Life is not a dress rehearsal
Nor a script where joy is on delay.
Seize the glimmer in the ordinary,
And make each day a holiday.
Don’t ever save anything,
Save anything for a special occasion.
Being alive is that special occasion.
