Our Allies

(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
