I See You

John Prophet

I see you.
Looking
back oh
so many
years ago.
Lying on
the couch.
Your heart
slowly being
ripped
from
your
chest.
The road
will be
hard.
You’ll need
to be
tough.
Hold on
hard.
Many
years of
unfortunate
you’ll need
to navigate.
Hold
close to
your chest
hope.
For you
will
end up
in a
wonderful
place.
Merry Christmas.
