Connection

This world is sadly lacking

Something it used to own;

Something that we were meant to have:

To not live life alone.  

We’re meant to have connection

With the people that we meet;

Instead of “How’s the weather?”

Why not “Come, and take a seat?”

If everyone is struggling,

With something or another,

Why do we struggle silently

And not lean on each other?

I long to be more purposeful

In what I do or say;

Not just the casual greetings,

But “Is everything okay?”

I want to have connection

With the people that I know;

Let’s help each other through the storms

That everyone must go.

Let’s not live life alone

When we’re meant to have each other;

God gave us friends and family

To walk with one another.

Please be there for your struggling friends,

Don’t fear to ask what’s wrong;

They need someone who shows they care,

And who will lead them on.
