The Unseen Army
It's kind of amazing,
That you can have friends,
You never knew you had.
In days of loneliness,
When your mood feels flat,
As a piece of paper,
Pressed to the bottom of a coffee cup,
Down in the dumps,
Like the waitress that clears it.
On days,
When every crayon breaks,
As you press it to the paper.
On days when every,
Silver lining,
Of the clouds that fill your day,
Has torn.
It can be easy,
To forget,
All the unseen people.
All the little nooks and crannies,
Where the friends you,
Never knew you had,
Wait for the day,
When they can be there,
For you.
It's hard to remember,
All that have loved you.
All that still do.
When your vision narrows,
At the injustices you face.
When your eyes are blurred with tears,
You won't let yourself cry.
It's hard to see,
The ones that will,
Rise,
To fight the army,
At your door.
To fight any battle,
You need them to.
The unseen army,
The lots and lots of people,
Who love you.
The people who'd never,
Let you go,
Even when you don't,
Remember to love them,
As they deserve.
When you look around,
Can you see them?
The ones waiting with a kind word,
The bring all the colors of a bright bird,
Into the stormy skies,
That have darkened your vision.
If you can't see them,
Ask yourself,
What you've missed.
Who smiled,
As you passed them,
In the hallway?
Who said hello?
Who asked you how,
You've been?
Who told you they liked,
What you've chosen to wear,
Or what you said?
Any little tiny thing can show,
That they think of you.
That you crossed their mind.
And if they did these things,
They have paid attention,
To you.
All the unseen love.
The hidden army,
You know nothing of.
Waiting in the shadows,
For the day,
You need them.
So,
When you feel alone,
Wonder,
What you've forgotten.
Who you've forgotten.
How likely is it,
That everyone,
Has forgotten,
You?
There is more love,
For you,
Than you could ever see.
And if you ever,
Cannot see enough,
What are you,
Not seeing?
I find it unbelievable, that we can feel so alone. I know we do. I know I do. There were a lot of reminders for me today that that isn't the case. There are always more who love you, than you are able to see. Love is a powerful thing, and it isn't going to just not be there because time passes, or because you don't know a person extremely well. You can't know everything about a person, and you don't need to to love them. It is amazing that we can be so loved, by so many people, even if we have barely ever even spoken to them. Love is the strongest, and often, most unbelievable of emotions.
