What would you do?

Without my partner, our kids, mates, and family,
I'd be lost, adrift, no direction.
Literally up the creek without a paddle.

What would I do?
How would we navigate alone?
So many wrong choices we'd inevitably make.

No advice to steer us through life's storms,
No support in moments of doubt.
Who'd be there to listen,
To offer a shoulder, a kind word?

It's hard to fathom,
How I'd manage without that network.
Especially when strangers are just that,
Unknown, uncertain.

Without yours,
What would you do?
