– In honor of Paul & Lance

They are the ones
who stand with me
facing the truths
accepting the pain
living the joy…

They are the ones
who sit with me
filling the emptiness
drying my tears
calming my fears…

They are the ones
who give me hope
who show me prayer
who love me whole…

Shoulder to shoulder
arm in arm
heart by heart
we beat the drums
of life
and
death…

my tribe and me…
