March 22, 2018 We need other people we are social beings. We find success in connections, not in striving to do things by our own means. those who think they don't need anyone are wrong. We all need someone. We all need a soft place to land; a place we venture out from and always return to for sustenance and support. Alone By Maya Angelou Lying, thinking Last night How to find my soul a home Where water is not thirsty And bread loaf is not stone I came up with one thing And I donβt believe Iβm wrong That nobody, But nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone. There are some millionaires With money they can't use Their wives run round like banshees Their children sing the blues They've got expensive doctors To cure their hearts of stone. But nobody No, nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone. Now if you listen closely I'll tell you what I know Storm clouds are gathering The wind is gonna blow The race of man is suffering And I can hear the moan, 'Cause nobody, But nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone. Source: https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/alone-by-maya-angelou ** Image ID #1855238 Unavailable ** |
