My people

When I am sad they make me happy

When I don't want to talk they make me talk

When I am vulnerable they protect me and hold me tight

When I am lonely they are there to hug me

When I throw in a tantrum they are patient with me

When I am stuck they are there to listen to me

When I am cold they hold me with their warm hands

When I am sick they pop up in most random ways to make me smile

When I am struggling they are praying for me silently

When I am sensitive they are there to wipe my tears

When I am mad they are willing to tolerate me

When I am frustrated unable to think clearly they direct me to clear path

When things get too much to handle they lend me their shoulder to cry

When I am euphoric they are more euphoric than me

No matter how messy I get they hold me dear and near

Oh Romi today i ponder looking at the evening sky

"These are my people, few in no. yet more than enough to surround me"

How lucky I am to be born in such a cascade of love and adoration!
