On

We can blunder about like a new born deer,
But no matter how often we fall,
Someone is there to catch us.
And life goes on.

When one minor misjudgement,
Leads to a tremendous wound,
There is always someone we can lean on.
And life goes on.

When we ache and mourn after a loss,
And trauma engulfs us like a raging inferno,
We persevere with the power provided by others.
And life goes on.

No matter what we do, someone is always there to catch us.

And life goes on.
