A Poem For A Loved One

Rating: 5.0


i can help you
but because i love you more than you know
i refrained

from taking you from the quicksand
i look at you struggling for life

i want you to struggle some more
watching if you can save yourself

i am testing myself too
to the future comfort that when i am gone

you will still know how to live by yourself
that quicksands could have been avoided

i could have helped you immediately & easily
but i wanted you to help yourself first

i want to see you stronger this time
and even wiser

i am getting old
and time shall soon make me irrelevant in your life

soon you must survive on your own
and when i see you finally on this state

i can say to myself: i have truly loved you
because i have never allowed you to be weak.
