When feeling’s deep, we others cannot see it.
Please do not think we mean to do you harm —
I’ve no advice for you; my only offer
Is just the lightest touch along your arm
To stand beside you, here along these waters,
As tears of generations fill the bay:
A touch to let you know I care about you
Much more than words of poetry
Could say

thank you, this is beautiful and what i needed so much right now –
I’m so glad it helped.
By the way, the picture of is of Choctawhatchee Bay, where I was this last weekend.
You did it again! A dying art is the ability to say so much using so little words [and use an image I captured (at exactly 5:26 a.m. on 22 June 2015, standing behind the Ocean Bay Officer’s Club on Eglin Air Force Base, Florida) to boot] ;-). The poem is pure word food and thank you soooo much for using the image.
I worked at Eglin for 11 years, straight out of college, and lived down the street from where the Officer’s club was built, as a child, for 5 years. I thought I recognized the view. Marvelous picture.
WOW!!! Really!?!? Small world! This make it mo better 😉
thank you<3
When no words will help all we really need is someone to stand beside us to let us know we’re not alone – so true and needed today – thank you x
💙❤️
