It takes a Village

All the talk

The support

Love the help

Community in the togetherness

We

Not just I

Working this thing out

Alone

It used to be

A lot

Now the outlook has changed

The scenery looks like a canvas

But I was just painting

I needed some more paint

Looked up and

It was empty

my masterpiece

Is missing some elements

All there is

Heavy Hope

I carry a lot

On my own

There is no

one village

It is the community

The rec center

Day care

Church

Neighbor angel

Online

When I call on God

Just so I don’t depend on the resource

I depend on the source

The savior of the season

It takes a village

But the village doesn’t look the same

For everyone

Season go season

The saving changes

But the savior doesn’t

Saying it takes a village

With a solid village

Stirs up anger

Until I look back

And see it does

I wasn’t alone

My village

Was sent

Village by village
