I look around and I see people 
people that are on the same level as me
Ones looking to change the world
While others looking to helpful

Seeing friends losing friends and loved ones
Crying day in and day out 
Days spent grieving 
Trying to cope with the tough loss

People saying it just doesn't make sense
Other saying I just him/her
Trying to think positive 
Meanwhile all we can think of is the negative

It takes time for community
to come as one
Time for the community to grow
Time for them to know

People trying to be the best they can be
Working hard everyday
Realizing the essence of time 
Realizing the essence of love 

It takes one to really know the true value of time
One to know the value of community
One to know the essence of education
One to know the value of friendship

Professors and mentors
Are what make up my community
Friends and loved ones 

I'm glad I have my community
One that's supportive of me
One that I can count on people
Thanks a lot to my community
