I See You
I see the roof of your vehicle
The scarf on your head
I see the worry in your eyes
I see the worry when it’s fed
I see the privacy you reap
Half assed – children and pets
Partners moving in camera momentarily
Your goals not quite met
I see the pandemic exhausting you
The racial & social injustices maddening
I see the resilience & strength in you
Although the uncertainty is frightening
I See You
I see you continue step after step through fear
I see all of this as courage, even when you don’t
Repeat after me: I AM HERE
