Catch me, if I fall

Happy New year poetry

My grandfather told me often. “Never leave with anger and negative words to someone you love. Better to hold silence if you are angry and tell them. I love you and I need you alive and strong. My door is wide open for you if you need a safe place to go. If you need anything, please ask. Sometime they may not return. Last words you spoke to them. Last memory of them, please make them happy and joyful.”

 

Catch me if I fall

 

I told my friend.

We need more angels,

more kind words,

more smiled given and received.

We need more hand holding,

we need more long talks and more coffee time with dear friends,

We need to try to save people who are struggling,

we need to pay attention to the people we love.

Be there for them, catch them when they fall and

celebrate with them in the good days.

Love, my friend. Is all we have.

Let us end the year on a high note and pray there'll always be someone to catch us when we fall...and that we'll be there when someone needs our arms to fall into...let us call each other friend.

Well done John...Happy New Year and all the best to you & yours in the coming year.

"we need more hand holding.
we need to try and save people who are struggling"/ I believe in you my friend. And yes, we do need more angels in this bickering and carping society. I wish the worst among us understood the overwhelming stimulations that the poet finds in their soap dish. Or sees the sticking moonlight that the poet sees as the insects wander aimlessly across the sky.

Me too dear friend. The world need to slow down. Time for us to care for the people in need. Stop the hate and begin the healing. Thank you for reading and the kind and generous words.

It is wise to forget anger and remember what is worthwhile. People are precious and they don’t stay forever. Once gone they never return. So to be cherished and treasured and loved. Much appreciated, dear Coyote.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you dear Divya. I agree. Better to be kind. The world is hard enough already.
