find ties to keep you grounded
those friends and family
offering safety, laughter, and respect
as well as a feeling of being home
those that know your past
yet ooze love and acceptance
while fiercely protecting your future
those offering shelter
tending your wounds as needed
honor those bonds

Beautiful poem, Susi.
