My heroA Poem by thetish
You were my hero,
once upon a time. Whispering calmly to my scattered spirit. Supporting gently, providing kindly- a caring squeeze, light-hearted words. You gave such comfort, where others failed. Each day I hoped to find your smile, hear my name spoken tenderly. You watched so mindfully- judging silenced pain, and emotions deep. You stood brave guard as I faltered tiresomely, a foot soldier in the night. You pushed, you insisted, when I wanted to give up. You called my bluff, when I claimed to be alright. Only you said so plainly - I see your pain, how heavy it sits. Now hear me truthfully - I am with you. I will listen. I am not leaving you. As days turn to weeks, the past slowly ellipses. Behind the breath of new hope- tomorrow. Yet on this cold morning, sun dawning late, I repeat a solemn prayer to the powers about us - Protect his dear soul forever and always. For being my hero, once upon a time. © 2020 thetish |
