This globe keeps on spinning
while we hang on by our fingernails
and the grace of gravity.
We cling to our transitory world
as we try to figure out
what we are doing here.
I guess when you think about it,
all we have to hold on to
is each other.

Oh Ida that is so true.

It's a wonderful thing to have family and friends to hang onto when the going gets tough. Great write.
