Standing, for most
Is an effortless task
When our bodies awaken
It’s the first thing we ask
But lifting each other
Takes so much more strength
When we want to rise up
While bearing the weight
Of one who can’t stand
(At least for the moment)
But reach out your hand
And watch it come back
When your world seems to crumble
You’ve staggered, not fallen
As we stand strong together
With the hearts we helped build
