Look Around

Dedicated to Tony Jordon. This will have to do for now ;)

Whenever you cry,

whenever you fall,

look around -

I am here,

at a moment's call.

Feeling sad?

Feeling down?

Look around -

I am here,

won't let you drown.

 

Make a wish,

don't be shy,

look around -

I am here,

just give it a try.

I haven't seen Tony around here in years! Is he still active? I love your poem becuz of the quiet timid sound of these reassurances. Sometimes people who talk a big show are never actually THERE for a person. That's why the quiet promise feels more genuine to me. Nice rhyme & rhythm, too (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Tony is certainly inactive around here, but he's one of the very few on WC who I'm in contact with personally :D
I haven't checked up on this little piece for ages, so your review brought back early memories from my time in here. Thank you so much for reading and appreciating, BG. Hugs back

[barleygirl]

I'm glad you're still in contact . . .

[emmajoy]

Strange how people alter over time,. how what was once sweet talk becomes bitter bile! And yet you've always been a cure-all, Yumna, turning the other cheek whilst being there.. always. Blessings and just a few wishes..

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Strange indeed. I do intend to remain the same for the ones I'm close to and I'm glad to have made such friends here as well as offline 😊
Thank you so much for your words here, Em.
Reading this piece again, the words seem childish though the emotions are sincere and never changing 😊

[emmajoy]

We're all children - and should be - deep inside, Yumna and there's no sin in that. After all, when we see and feel the horrors of so many adults ... well, you know what i'm inferring!

[Sir Drift & Mr. Pulse]

And here I am looking around

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Oh well, you know... ;)

[Phill Oz O'fee]

Great tribute to solid friendship - expressed in a simplistic poetic style!
اچھا لکھا گیا

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hey, thank you for the appreciation!
How come you know Urdu? Curious..

[Phill Oz O'fee]

I am not proficient - but know a few expressions!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Cool! You will definitely know this then,
شكريّة 😇

[Phill Oz O'fee]

And ... thank you as well!

[Surya]

Simple, friendly poem, I will give a try, haha..

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hey, thank you! It's all the matter of finding the right ones 😊

[Tony Jordan]

You are true to your word Yumna - you are there for your friends. Such wonderful sentiments. I deeply appreciate this lovely gesture. I am humbled.
I hope your day has went well..?
:))

[Dr. YumnaKay]

As I was yesterday. It was the least I could do, since you told me not to write lol 😛
I had an almost fine day. Hope you have it good 😊

[Tony Jordan]

Hah ! Since when did you do what you are told ...lol *wink*
I'm having a good day - made all the better by your kind dedication to my awesomeness (joking..lol)
xDD

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahah true! I'm waiting for the inspiration to strike me with good enough words 😛
I'm glad of that 😊

[Dr. YumnaKay]

And you're abs right! Tell me something not to do and I'll do it for sure haha 😂😂

[Tony Jordan]

You rebel !
lol
I was waiting on inspiration too but perspiration and precipitation struck instead...so I am wet if I go outside and wet if I stay inside ;p

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Lmao Tony stop 😂
It's hard getting inspired to write something good 😛😉

[Tony Jordan]

There is so much going on in your wonderful country - how about a poem telling us what you love (and dislike) about Pakistan?

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Haven't the western media portrayed enough about what goes around in Pakistan? Lol
It's a good idea though. I did write about the bomb blast that happened last week.

[Tony Jordan]

We always get the neggy news - what positive things are we missing out on? :))

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Haha yeah I know that! Media shows it like they want people to know..
You've seriously got me thinking here, TJ.😛

[Tony Jordan]

There are a few countries who we only hear the negative news from - Russia and Cuba and China among them, but we get lots of visitors from those countries and they seem really happy - happier than us in fact lol -
so who's fooling whom?

[Tazeen Ahmed]

Elegantly captured and calming poetry.
Well done! Cheers!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you so much, Tazeen, for the nice words and appreciation 😊

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed, simple, graceful and beautiful in its sentiments.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thank you, John Alexander! I appreciate it 😊

[Ayvid N]

A simple and beautiful assurance to a friend. Appreciated all the more as try I could I can't promise to be there always for even my closest friends, being moody and feckless by nature. Tony is a great person and writer and he deserves all the love and support. Great going YumnaKay!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I've always meant to be there for those I care about. And TJ is one of those people.
I agree, he's a good friend to have.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. Truly appreciate it ☺

[Ayvid N]

Its an exceptional human quality. One thats truly admirable. You are welcome 😊

[Woolliza]

These look like they could be song lyrics. Maybe you could try putting some music to them?

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Thats what I thought. But unfortunately I have no idea how that works. Thanks for the review ☺
