Our Allies

January 26, 2023

(For my friends at NAMI Rochester)

When we stumble and fall
you stop and help us to stand
You support us until we can walk
all the while, making us believe we can

You send us words of kindness
Just to show you care
Bringing smiles to our faces
Making the world a little more fair

You give us safe spaces
to open up and share our stories
Until the day comes
when we join in, when we’re ready

Keep standing tall
Carry the world with your might
and let the scared souls like me know
that they have allies in this fight
