Peaceful Traveler

I am dedicating this to my son. From love he is love. I want him to experience this life and to do it with conviction, to be confident, and know who is. This is for him, to remember who he is.

A gentle heart drumming 

In a tranquil vessel

Two Flawed halves

Make one Perfect whole

   And you are Spotless

A clean slate

With so much to discover, uncover, and seek

So much to become, and understand

I will not always be with you on this walk

    I am pleading with you little one

On your journey, you must remain steadfast

Face your fears, and Delve into your desires

Do not hesitate to be smitten with happiness

Or feel pain, and sorrow

And never underestimate the power

of tenderness and humility

Take comfort in being human

    Realize you are not alone

You are small but strong

The intensity and innocence

Of Your Love is undeniable

Infectiously flowing

You are an incredible calming force

Slaking the woes of the world,

And of my soul

    Without a doubt, You were meant to be here

Destined to be apart of this life

My life

I am only so lucky to be a spectator

Of your incredible wandering voyage

    You will find who you are,

Be nothing else.

I will always Love you,

 My Peaceful Traveler.

This sounded like a fatherly figure (or maybe God) urging his young one on the journey of life. Prepping him/her for the arduous road ahead and instilling in them the necessary knowledge and values as to not waiver down the road.

"On your journey, you must remain steadfast
Face your fears, and Delve into your desires
Do not hesitate to be smitten with happiness
Or feel pain, and sorrow
And never underestimate the power
of tenderness and humility
Take comfort in being human" - is something all parents/guardians should bestow upon their kids at an early age; the rest is up to them.

Well done.

"I do not claim to be a writer"--well, you don't need to! Your poetry does it for you.
You are most definitely a writer, and a very good one at that.

I'm not entire sure of the context of this poem, but maybe that's part of it's allure. How it allows you to fill in the blanks, create your own backstory.

I know I've thought this, or something close to this, looking at little ones close to me.

A great, memorable write. I enjoyed reading it.

what a gorgeous selfless mediatation in action applied~ there is a deep sense of the parent who permits his child to grow his own wings and fly in his own direction~ standing by as needed and genty guiding without it seeming like guidance at all~beautiful~
