The Other Day I saw you again the other day Were you meant to be seen You came back to let me know you still cared Can you know what’s in my life Do you see what’s in my heart Or is it hidden from behind the walls of Sleep Here, in World and Time, I was but to ask But you knew I was too proud Too stubborn in my own lies to know Weak in my knowledge to understand The veil covering your eyes Cleared my vision that I might see you there beside me You looked on when I, as a child, turned away Now I, still as your child, turn to you to ease my pain Father, I cannot do this alone But you knew that all the while You showed me you were here Because when I look over at that same spot The reminder is there I saw you again the other day |

We see with our inner eye the things not of this world and we take comfort in the seeing. Well done Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

You looked on when I, as a child, turned away Now I, still as your child, turn to you to ease my pain ****************************************** that's what it's all about |

This poem is very touching. I enjoyed. Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |

Ringo - this is lovely - I often have the same feelings - a constant reminder - a service flag draped in front of me - not quite as insightful as yours - but still . . . I know he is watching too xxoo |
