Belonging

God thankyou

For the belonging, the fun

For finding a place in our world

Yet whenever I feel the sweet joy of belonging

I am aware of those who don’t belong

Who are lonely, on the outer

It seems almost selfish to find my belonging

By belonging and finding my place

Am I taking up someone else’s?

Or am I showing the way?

Showing that it is possible

To find a place of belonging

Maybe they could find it too

If they could believe it is possible…

What if I am taking up the place that belongs to someone else?

No, I’m taking up my place

My world needs me to take up my place

And in doing so I can invite others

To take up their place too.
