Tenth Poetry Post: Future

I HOLD YOU UP

In my heart, I hold you up

Up to your potential

Up to higher standards

Up to all you are to me.

I see you taller

I see you full of love

I see you happier than life itself

I see you so aware of all you are.

I hold that space for you in my heart

Because that is who you are to me!

Is it really you?

Can you actually become this one day?

Do you have to try, make your own conscious effort?

Will you live up to where I carry you in my heart?

Or am I simply seeing your future self

And creating the space for you

To one day

Walk into that bigger space

That open place

Joy, contentment and peace

Beaming on your face!

Maybe it is just hope found in a

Mother

Sister

Daughter

Wife

Friend

Poet

Or person’s

Heart

That holds you up

In truth, I feel it now

And it is Love

Love will always lift us all up

In every breathing moment

As it has . . .

Throughout all time!

STATE OF MIND

Expanded,

Thought, any moment

Tells us that

We can know

Our past, present, future self . . .

Feel it and say, “YES!”
