Verbal D
Verse 1:
Nnenna
Chorus:
Here and now is what matters most
'Cause when it’s gone, it’s lost forever
So I will love you, and keep you close
Though I’m happy, there’s no need to boast
Nnenna
Verse 1:
You’ve always been here helping me grow
You lift me up when I fall down
You’ve always taught me to be strong
To carry on my way
And I stand
Grateful...
Nnenna
Chorus:
Here and now is what matters most
'Cause when it’s gone, it’s lost forever
So I will love you, and keep you close
Though I’m happy, there’s no need to boast
Verbal D
Verse 2:
I’m living in the here and now
There’s not much time for fearing doubts
My negativity is clearing out
So listen real good as you hear me out
Life sometimes we can’t prolong
So find a place where you belong
Gotta stay strong, right over wrongs
Slowing it down, but still moving along
Got to take the moment now
*Cause if we don’t we’re going south
Grab somebody that you love
And show them what I’m speaking of
Do it before your time is up
Love ‘em before their time is up
Be grateful that you have a life
Be thankful that you did wake up!
Nnenna
Chorus:
Here and now is what matters most
'Cause when it’s gone, it’s lost forever
So I will love you, and keep you close
Though I’m happy, there’s no need to boast
Nnenna
Singing Verse 3:
Appreciation wasn't there
I didn't know how to show it, no
But you shared with me your heart
Showed me how to give back
And I’m gratified by your love...
Nnenna
Bridge:
Yes, I’m thankful
Oh, I’m grateful
For getting through this world of strife
For this chance to do things right
Yes, I’m thankful
Oh, I’m grateful
For knowing you, and for this life
For this chance to do things right
_
Not gonna take this for granted (not this time)
Not gonna take this for granted (not this time)(x2)
Nnenna
Chorus:
Here and now is what matters most
'Cause when it’s gone, it’s lost forever
So I will love you, and keep you close
Though I’m happy, there’s no need to boast

Thank you for reading & listening to this post in its entirety, I hope you enjoyed it for what it's worth.
I'll still be continuing accepting donations until I can reach my goal to fly out to america with my children and wife to visit my family as it is very urgent indeed.
I've raised $1960 and .51 cents of Steemit Currency in total from both My Posts and Donations from Steemit Community Members this 2017 forward and $95.00 in US Dollar Donations so far towards my goal of $ 6,000.00 (Six Thousand) US Dollars and will keep everyone updated with every new future post that I submit.
This total amount will not only include donations I've received to the Paypal account I've provided: CompletelyQJS@yahoo.com, but it will also include the Steemit Currency that I accrue/receive from all of my personal posts starting the 1st of January of 2017 forward calculated after a 48 hour time frame is finished for the payout cycle of each post to avoid miscalculating the fluctuating price of Steemit Currency.
For more information on that, please check my New Year's/Happy Bday Post
Thanks sincerely again in advance for all your help, anything and everything helps.
A SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL GENEROUS AND GIVING DONORS HERE FROM THE STEEMIT COMMUNITY!
