When

When we feel so alone,

Thank goodness for those who make us feel seen and appreciated.

When we’re “expected” to act a certain way,

Thank goodness for those who let us act how we feel.

When we can’t properly express our feelings,

Thank goodness for those who know what we mean.

When we get stuck thinking about our flaws,

Thank goodness for those who remind us of our strengths.

When we’re our own worst enemies,

Thank goodness for those who act as heroes.

When our lives are full of storms,

Thank goodness for those who bring us some sunshine.

When we have nowhere else to turn,

Thank goodness for those who give us refuge.

When we need a friend,

Thank goodness for those who answer the call.
