WE CARRY ONE ANOTHER

If we carry one another,
the load is divided
in two,

it’s true,

I never knew
as a child,
or as I grew,
that I would need
to be carried,

how lucky I was
to have you

when the time came,

I knew
it was hard
for you
to do the
heavy lifting,

but I’m here now,
I’m whole,
I’m strong,

if you need to be carried,
let me be the one
to share your load,

if we divide it in two,
we will survive.
