Before They Knew…

I could see them ❤️

Before they knew

who they were,

I could see them.

They watched.

They played.

They spoke.

They created.

They were becoming…

They stepped forward.

They held back.

I noticed

who waited,

afraid to take

the first step.

Who threw

themselves

right in.

Who was

young but wise,

old but young.

And me,

not wanting

or

needing to

change them…

Only

to keep

them

safe

and

steady.

Secure

and

sure.

Keeping watch,

before the world

would ask them,

to harden

or

to hurry…

or

change.

For I knew

what was waiting…

unfolding,

and

slowly,

slowly,

finding

its way,

Into their precious world…💛
