ALONGSIDE
AWARE
ATTUNED
ASSURED
ACCEPTED
ALIGNED
AFFECTION
ALWAYS

Alongside the ones who steady us
Aware of the truths they carry
Attuned to laughter shared freely
Assured that storms can be weathered
Accepted without mask or measure
Aligned in quiet, loyal ways
Affection held without condition
Always the bond remains
