Enough
Even here,
Pulling comforters close,
We are like sheltering bears,
Warming against each other,
In the comfort of each other,
Against the threat of elements
So beyond our control.
‘Together’ was ever the safe word.
Safe in a spreading wealth,
Of caves, trees, concrete, steel,
Of hands touching.
Buzzing hives of us,
Together is all we have.
Donning socks and scarves,
Against whatever may come,
We hope, we hope, we pray,
That together,
We’ll be strong enough.

A beautiful poem talking about the animals living in the woods and how they take care of them selves. We all care about them.
Dear brother, although life is often a struggle for us, we try the best we can. Animals set examples for us through their own bravery. Animal families accept, nurture each other, and survive through the challenges as best they can. They band together, and in that there is strength. Thank you so very much for reading and leaving your understanding words!
