Stay Put

Today's post is very different from what I have been posting in the last year. I have been working on this one this month. I thought that maybe posting a poem I created would be nice. It is probably not the mood you are expecting from me but I hope you enjoy this one.

Fearful, I feel like I am stoned

Alone and cold

What do I do now?

I asked myself

Stay put, someone whispered

Remember when you were a kid

Mama and Papa kisses you

Takes you to a park

As you roll to make you giggle.

I looked back and cried;

I wish I have them still

For calls and chat every week

But the Lord had set them free.

Stay put, someone whispered

Ponder about your old self

Oh that boy, so much energy

So driven, though

But spark's missing in his eyes

He's slowly learning

But also healing

He was fearless, yet quick

To not let anyone dim his light.

Stay put, someone whispered.

Contemplate of that girl

She was scared, worried

Trying to blend in

"Let me in," she said

She was brave, little uncertain

The rejections came her way

She ain't losing the fight

Her game is just starting.

Stay put, someone whispered.

How do you see yourself?

Lots of things, I bet

Just want her to smile

Maybe, holding someone's hands

Beaming, heart is full

Thousands of memories gathered

With family around me

With my Jellie plus my little baby.

Stay put, someone whispered

Come back now this time

Think of places

You want to be

Somewhere warm and sandy

So I can feel my feet soaked

In a white beach

Enjoy that breeze

Free my mind from worry.

Stay put, someone whispered

I know you are alone

You have nobody

I hope those earlier thoughts

Carry you through the morning

You are draped in darkness

Don't let it eat you inside

Know that you will dance again

Believe me, joy is to follow.

I know I will dance again
