A thing that places do

When I was in a place that I disliked

I found a family in the community that I was scared to call mine

When I was in a place where flowers bloomed

and thoughts found their logical way

I found the strength to stand on my own

When I leave

I am confident that I’ll be able to balance the two

together and alone

such a thing that places do

they keep your heart open

and on track

to make a lasting impact
