Steer by the Stars
There you are, exactly where I used to be
At the same age and time
Looking at the waves and rage of the sea
Hoping for a ray of sunshine
There you are, standing at the top of the cliff
Staring into the cold abyss
Gazing endlessly like you’re wondering if
All of this will go amiss
There you are, with profound compassion
Delicate fractured soul
Hiding behind a smile with closed caption
Trying to find your role
The answers will come to you in time if you’re patient
You’ll learn to steer by the stars on those darker nights
But remember never settle for less or become complacent
And most importantly, never lose the will to fight
I can see your smile by the light of the new moon
Here you are, you’re almost out of your cocoon

If this beautiful inspirational piece is written on behalf of someone.. it echoes with a calm reassurance to take the thought into consideration... a very nice musing if I am allowed to say my poet... and you are doing great as you have crossed over the halfway mark

SKC, thank you very much for your comment.
Yes, I wrote this with my son in mind as he's going through a bout of depression. He also loves to write. All I can do is be there for him and reassure him that it's going to turn out OK.

I loved this, Walter!
My senses felt like it was written to your children... and I think these sentiments are just gorgeous, my friend. I read it twice and I am so moved. You're such a motivating force yourself.
Good luck in your last 10 days, my friend 🙏🏻
Much respect,
🌹

Thank you very much and thanks for adding to your RL.
Yes, I wrote this for my son who is going through a difficult time at the moment, but it also reminded me of what I went through at his age. As a father, the most I can do is letting him know is that I hear him and will help him any way I can.

This feels like a father's observation regarding his children, Wally. It's like you're watching your son at the beach. As a parent, it really took me back in memory.

Thank you very much Ahavati.
Yes, this is for my 16 year old. The song helped me (and many people have said the same) go through those times of darkness and eventually find hope.
