We must search, find the
Space within our hearts
Deep within our soul
The place where family resides
And open up the door
Taking inside so, so much more
Not just blood bonds
Shutting out the hordes
In a world filled with humanity
Don’t just shuffle through
Imagining monsters moving past you
The eyes of a stranger
Reflect the same
Blessings and fears as yours
Don't conflate caution with fear
Analysis with judgment
Observe your surroundings
Do not hostilely confront them
Live and expand happily
Fill the space you have
Reach out wide
Connect to those who exist outside
Don’t shrink back, perpetually
In fear of genuine kindness
Extending a hand in
Healing gentility and
Generous activity with
No expectation of direct
Reciprocity
