I watched

I watched you grow

I watched you bloom,

From the seeds

That others sowed,

I watched you thrive

I witnessed you fly,

I saw the smile on your face

And that twinkle in your eye,

So it’s so hard now

For me to see you either,

And to see you breakdown and cry

And I know the very reason why,

To many people you loved died

And no matter how strong we be,

It leaves scars within you and me,

And it was so painful to be,

Witnessing you wither

Down my spine it sent shivers,

I just hope that you hold strong

For I am here for you,

As I have been all along,

Admiring and appreciating you

I can’t stand seeing the decline in truth,

I watched you grow

I watched you bloom,

From the seeds

That others sowed,

Now I just don’t know

How to best care and tend to you,

I witnessed how the grief caught up with you in truth,

And it has withered you.

  1. It is hard when someone you love is grieving. All you can do is be there for them.
