I See You

I want you to hear this

I want you to know

You are not invisible

I want you to know

I see your life

I see it

I see how the world deals you

Blow after blow
Time and again
And yet
Somehow
You stand

And I want you to know

I admire
That kind
Of strength

I see also

When your legs give way
And you fall to the ground
And weep
For your losses

And I want you to know

I admire
That kind
Of honesty

I honor your life

As it is

I respect

Your journey

I don’t live

Your life
But I see clearly
The life
You have

I see

The hard choices
You make
Every day
Without help
To keep
Your world
Afloat

I see the secrets

That you keep
To keep
The peace

I see your pain

I see your grace
I see your strength
I see your fierce will
 
I see you

You are not invisible

And I wanted
To make sure
You knew that
