People Need People

Even islands get lonely

Like weaving palm leaves to make baskets
Like crocheting to make a pair of socks
       We need each other

The threads that connect us all
The webs that we leave behind
       As we meet each other
       As we befriend each other
       As we spend bits of time with each other
       As we are there for each other
Add us years, that hold us dear
