I See Your Face. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

I see your face
and within every crevice,
I know there is a story to tell,
of lifes hardships and of all
that went bad and all that went well.

No one knows of your deep thoughts,
for you have never revealed,
not even to those to whom your love was sealed.

And in every dark shadow and every dent,
there was a day that was bad
and a day that was well spent.

And there were days were you dreamed
and it kept you alive.
And others when you drank
and all you could do was to dive,
into the depths of depair.
You did not care.


But now you are content.
You have lived lifes path.
You have loved and you have suffered
other peoples wrath.

But you have learned that life brings
good things and bad.
It brings also happy days and sad.
But the most important thing you
have learnt on this road,
is that sometimes you can meet an angel
and that they are worth more than gold.

Verse: Sandra Kavanagh (c) .
