I've Seen You

Sometimes awkward relationships are just meant to be.

I've seen you
As I travel down my road
I've watched you
Carry your great load
I've come near you
At times our paths have crossed
I've known you
Sometimes at great cost
I've helped you
Often you have balked
I've left you
On the other side I walked
I've returned to you
Many times before
I've walked with you
Until my feet got sore
I've enjoyed you
Your company is fine
I've laughed with you
The sound is so divine
I've seen you
And what I see is sweet
I'm with you
As we walk this lonely street!

Author's Note

Something in me is compelled to rhyme. I do it in conversation. I do it in thought. Sometimes I don't want to and it happens anyways!

Hi William, sometimes all we have are our own shadows to walk with. Life can be a lonely road but it is much better to be shared. People come and people go and in the end, we shall ever be alone. I love the content of your write. Your words are thought-provoking, they do make me think. A journey through these words is a journey I am glad I did take. Have a wonderful Wednesday....Mike.

No greater compliment than to have another poet wax poetic with your words. Thanks Mike!

Hi William, you are welcome. It is always so sad that some people must walk alone through life. Your words touched me deeply, singing into my emotions. It is always a pleasure to read your words. Have a wonderful Thursday....Michael.
