I Am Here Poem by Priya Patel

Shoulders wide

Carrying the untold

Eyes weary and

Bloodshot red

One hand on work

The other on family

Mounting stresses

So many needs to be fed

Vices become

Necessary addictions

As new problems

Pile day after day

I can hear in your voice

The weariness and frustration

and I wish there was

something more I could say

So far away

But i'm always here

You can count on me

To be by your side

My shoulders

May be small

But for you my dear

My arms are open wide

Look up my love

The sky is there

He watches and

Carries your fear

Look around you

Feel the warmth

Of my love and

Remember, I am here
