YOU SAW ME
I rest in the arms of all memories we share,
Of laughter, joy and tears at times.
They bound us from childhood with trust;
With the knowledge of care.
“ You saw me “. This beautiful, written note
to his loved great grandfather when he passed,
from a young grandson who grieved.
Grieved his hero and friend.
Can it ever be greater than that,
To love and see deeply the soul inside.

How often in the business of our lives, we fail to stop and ‘see’ someone on a deep and personal level, to know them, to genuinely care about them. Thanks Miriam for the reminder. –Curt

Wordsworth, the English poet of the Romantic period, wrote, «The child is the father of the man. » Your poem reminds us that the grandchild is a double blessing of love. It connotes a chain of responsibility and care.

An absolutely wonderful comment and thoughts, thank you. I totally agree with ” Wordsworth” and I also say, let the child always live within us.
You say ” It connotes a chain of responsibility and care “. Wonderful thought and one I wish there would be more of. It is beautiful and rich.

Beautiful is right! And so revealing – both the very young and the very old often see beyond what most of us see most of the time. Really special. xo

Wonderful comment, Bela, thank you. If we just take the time to see deep and listen , the
person reveals its inner depth. Could be that young and old do so more, or could we all learn?

Yes, Miriam, good point. The young and old may seem to observe more deeply (the young without life experience to back up their intuitions and findings, as are the old, if they are also wise), though some of us are made that way and have done so all our lives. Blessings to you! xob

Miriam, a beautiful poem and don’t we all long to be truly seen, for others to see our true selves, into our souls. I was immersed in your poem from the very first line of the tender and thought-provoking ‘I rest in the arms of all memories we share,’ Wow! Stunning image and incredible emotion! xx
