When the class starts, I show up

No matter how I feel or what is going on in my life

I am present

Relationships are forged;lives are changed

When the game starts, I show up

My granddaughter looks up, a smile on her face

I am present

Relationships are forged;lives are changed

When my husband talks about his day, I show up

Sympathizing with difficulties, rejoicing in accomplishments

I am present

Relationships are forged;lives are changed

Constructing a life is made in these moments

Each block of action where you show up for someone else

Being present for them builds a strong foundation

Relationships are forged;lives are changed

Put aside the schedule conflicts and life intrusions

Show up for those who love you

Be present to build a future

Where Relationships are forged;lives are changed
