You're Here For A Reason

You're here for a reason. If you think you're not
I would just say that perhaps you forgot . . .
a piece of the world that is precious and dear would surely be missing if you weren't here.

If not for your smile and your laugh and your heart
this place we call home would be minus a part.

Thank goodness you're here!
Thank goodness times two!
I just can't imagine a world without you.

Not only are we loved, but we also matter. Once again, Nancy Tillman takes a universal truth and makes it accessible for readers young and old, as children and animals interact with acts of kindness.
