Here you go, team! Last week was too crazy for getting a song up here, but glad to share this original this week. I had a conversation with a sweet little 7-year-old last week and was just amazed at her thoughtful way of being and seeing the world, and started thinking about what I would most want her to internalize now before the world gets under her skin. Out of that came this song.

Hope you enjoy!
xx,

Grace Said to Me (by Kay Clarity)

Grace said to me, “I don’t like the way the days go by me.
Every night I’m sad that day will never, ever be
Again”

And I said, “Darling, keep that sensitive heart,
“Oh, darling, never let them take who you are away.”

Grace said to me, “I don’t like my birthday—it just means
That time has come and gone and I’m never ready
For it

And I said, “Darling, don’t going worrying in the dark
And, darling, keep on smiling when it’s hard

“Grace, I know how hard it is to learn how hard our lives can be
How so often it is really just grief after grief."

Darling, who you are is who you are
Darling, keep that sensitive heart
But darling: don’t go worrying in the dark
Darling: don’t go worrying in the dark
