Vast.

For all that was lost,
For all that was gained,
For the plans that were made,
And the the dreams we held close,
For the lives that we changed,
And the ones that changed ours,
For the people that left,
The people that stayed,
And the ones who let us down,
Or where we found help in unexpected places,
For the longest dark nights,
And the brightest of days,
The times we thought we wouldn’t get through,
And the highs from which we thought we’d never come down.
For the things misplaced,
And the hope we found.
For all of this,
We’re still here.
Smiling and laughing and crying and aching.
Breathing and living.
Feeling and loving.

So here we are.

Look at me with those eyes that assure me I'm safe.
Listen with understanding ears.
Breathe in this air in time with me.
Say the words that tell me I'm home.
Hold my hand so I know I'm not alone.
Make me believe.
