My People

I have a people, a tribe, a family.
They stay.
They comfort.
They sit.
They listen.
They give.
They love.
They stand.
They speak......
Truth
Peace
Joy
Wisdom.
They are the ones on whom I know I can depend.
They are the ones who have stood the test of......
Time
Grief
Joy
Transition
Anger
Confusion.
At my worst, they are the best.
They are my people and I am theirs.
