I See You

I see you Eyes as soothing and true A calming voice Needed amongst the bustling noise I see you My life is not through I cannot move But you are keeping me cool I see you I am scared here I need the comfort like a stuffed teddy bear I see you Earlier today I was a fool Trying something I was not supposed to do But you are here not on a break Tending to those who are starting to wake First thing one sees Coming out of the darkness minus the colorful dreams A bright light Due to the reality of sight Triggering an honest feeling to let out a scream If you know what I mean Then I see you And the calming image too Days later in my hospital bed Feeling grateful that I am not in the morgue, dead I watch the Hudson River boats Knowing this situation was not my fault Getting ready to go home To recuperate from these broken bones I see you After that serious boo boo I was alone And you had that healing tone I see you And I am back healthy studying at school

My poem I See You did have some actual references about the times that I spent in ICU way back in the 1970's as a pediatric patient. I hope it will calm some who are facing those three letters due to coronavirus. I am safe in Indialantic, Florida but reside in Las Vegas. Thanks for reading
