It’s the warmth you feel on a sun-kissed day,

Or the sweetest song of a passing bird.

It’s rain on the sidewalk and dew on the grass.

It’s a tune forever stuck in your head, its melody becomes your anthem.

This is belonging.

It’s the tears that flood your eyes when you’re reunited with someone you love.

It’s the smile you can’t contain when a stranger remembers your name.

It bathes your heart in contentment.

It glows like fireflies, warm and bright.

It is unspoken, but nonetheless present.

This is belonging.

It’s knowing someone sees you,

And accepts the trials you’ve overcome.

It’s beautiful and must be cherished—

The belonging you’ve so deservingly won.
