Shaking outside an apartment door
I remember what’s it like
To not feel safe
To fear going home

If we all had safe harbors
To moor our weathered ships
The world would be a little warmer

And if we all had safe arms
To run to when there was nowhere else to run
We would all be a little kinder

If we all had that safety net
Maybe we’d leap before we catch fire

But we don’t all have harbors or nets
Or arms to catch us
I wish we all had people who’d hold out their arms
And catch us

I do
And you deserve that too

A wish, a prayer:
May you see the lighthouse
And be guided safely to shore

With Love,
Natalie
