Gentle, gentle, gentle...

It doesn’t all have to be good,

Nor is it gonna be.

It doesn’t all have to be crazy shit,

Just, putting on your shirt.

Remember you saved a crab’s life today, maybe.

You only hope you’re helping and really have no idea if it’s right.

Remember you aren’t gonna have all the answers,

And you have lifetimes to figure it out.

When things start to get too serious,

Remember the dog that had too much fun in the seawater

And had to take a poop in the ocean.

Remember that some things take adjusting to,

And can be painful and seemingly unbearable.

But once you’re used to the water,

You’ve got the whole ocean to play in.
