Community

Community

Is like a warm sweater

It takes time to make

But it's worth it

It's warm

And comfortable

Community is like

Your favorite book

You can move on

Go somewhere else

But when you're tired

You can sink back

Into what you already know

And it will be there

To welcome you

Community is like

If the house

That you call home

Could be made out of people

Full of things from your past

Full of things preparing you

For your future

Safe

Warm

Open doors

Community

Is something

That should never be

Taken for granted

Just enjoy that you built

Relationships

With so many people

Who will hug you

Listen to you

Wipe away your tears

And stand beside

Whenever you need it
