Thank goodness for these people

Though they may be here but a second

Thank goodness for their goodness

For their caring

For their split second hugs and hot coffees

Thank goodness for these people

For their ability to listen

And their ability to ramble

And thank goodness for these people

Knowing I need the distraction

Agreeing to be the distraction from the real world

Thank goodness for these people

For laughing

And lifting

And just for caring

Because I know people care

But from all angles of your life, it is so unique

Thank goodness for these people

All of these people

All around me

Inhabiting cracks of my life I didn’t know I was lonely

Thank goodness for these people

And all that they do

And all that they want to do

And all that they couldn’t do

But that they really tried to do.

Thank goodness for these people.
