Being the One
There’s not always
A please and thank you-
A how can I help?
May I offer a hand?
Life moves fast
Standing still usually isn’t an option
But collecting yourself is-
And when you do
We all notice
Because you’re the one-
The one who plans the show
Provides the stage
Feeds the crew
And makes sure everyone has a seat
And that’s across generations
From those that can’t
To those that won’t
And the rest of us-
Who are just trying to get by
We all know
We notice
We appreciate
We might forget to say thanks
But the joy you generate
Provides the light for many
A light that can never dim
So carry the load
With a smile
Knowing we can’t do it without you
And if you need a hug
Just ask
We’ll stand in line to have our turn
Because we all love you.
