If I have learned one thing lately
It’s that I am not on my own
Others can relate to my feelings
I don’t have to go it alone
We may deal with our sorrows differently
We may suffer through individual pain
But the sadness and feelings are similar
And through this empathy and understanding we gain
I know that I don’t have all the answers
But by listening without judgment to how others feel
I can receive a greater appreciation of life
And my heartache becomes easier to heal
I cherish the friendships and the support
And hope I have given comfort in return
After all I think that’s how we get through trials
By leaning on each other we become stronger and learn
