Into each life.......

Sometimes it's easier to be alone
A bubble of self protection
Muffling the noise of connections
The talking
And hearing
The shouting
And arguing
The pleading
And demanding
The friends
The family
And people you don't even know
Too many directions to be pulled in
Too many pieces of you stolen away
And never returned
Or given back damaged
Or broken.

Sometimes it's good to connect
Burst the bubble
And let the noise surge over you
The conversations
And help
The laughter
And warmth
The comfort
And encouragement
The friends
The family
And people you don't even know
So many places to go
So many directions to choose
So much of yourself to share
To give freely
With love
