In this town that we call home,
we are never, ever all alone.
In times of joy, we celebrate,
in times of sorrow, we congregate,
to hug, to love, support and help.
You’re never alone or by yourself.
A familiar face, a happy place,
they can be found on any day.
If you’re feeling alone or in a bad space,
let someone know and you’re going to be safe.
A reassuring word, a warm gentle touch,
these are the things that mean so much.
No, life’s not perfect,
we suffer, we cry;
the roller coaster of life is quite a ride.
Hang on, reach out,
for what’s needed to survive.
It’s there for you at any time,
Have faith in your community and you’ll be glad for what you find!
Marie, Hardwick
