We’re in this Together

Sometimes life  interrupts our careful equilibrium
to force us to pause a moment,
to swallow our pride,
to acknowledge that we’re discouraged, frustrated, or hurting,
unnecessarily carrying burdens on our own.

We’re inspired to turn off the tv
and actually have a conversation.

Those quite moments provide the opportunity to appreciate
 the incomparable comfort to be found in holding your favorite person’s hand.

You open your heart and share your fears, hidden expectations,
the troubles that disturb your peace at night.

Although it’s always there, known, between you,
you say it out loud:

I’m here for you.
I love you.
No matter what, we’re in this together.


And you rediscover a treasure that’s been yours all along.
