For those of us (all of us?) "falling through the cracks?"
You are very, very loved.
Inspired by a character is Doug Worgul's novel "Thin Blue Smoke."

lyrics

STEADY NOW, STEADY NOW, STEADY NOW
words/music: bill mallonee
1. one more bartender fill up this cup
after this one, well, we'll settle up
i'm opening up heaven & closing up shop
steady now, steady now, steady now

2. there are no rules at least none i could post
wandering lost, still, i'm luckier than most
and when love showed her face? Ah! well, now there's a toast!
steady now, steady now, steady now

3. i don't know if i've known you or if i ever did
there were all these voices shouting & i was just a kid
and you had a way of keeping yourself hid
steady now, steady now, steady now

4. there were fixes & moments when i thought it was done
an old chapter finished and a brand new one begun
but nothing last forever...well, mostly not very long
steady now, steady now, steady now

5. there was yearning inside till i thought i would burst
did my prayers just careen through the cold universe
no voice, no calling and no burning bush
steady now, steady now, steady now

6. they say all that you sow is all that you'll reap
and i'm sorry for the promises i failed to keep
i'm gonna ask you to catch me...and then i'm gonna leap...
steady now, steady now, steady now
