Tread gently,
for behind those eyes you see
lies a lady
dreaming her last dream…
Tread gently,
for behind those eyes,
lies a child
looking at the skies
for the first time…
Tread gently,
for behind those eyes
lies a man
building his home of imagination…
Tread gently,
for behind those eyes
lies a person
whose heart was broken a million times
but they still send a smile
to the new day….
Tread gently,
for the world awaits…
in hope for kindness.

Everybody has their story and their own road to walk. Thank you for this important reminder. We need to pause before we judge because we cannot know their story.

Forgottenmeadows, what a gorgeous poem. I enjoy reading it.
November 25, 2019 at 12:16 pm
Beautifully written, Neha. The repetition of the first verse in each stanza and also the almost repetition of other words give great emphasis to this piece.
November 26, 2019 at 8:31 am
Thank you so much Marta!

You are welcome most kindly, Neha.

The entire poem has gorgeous imagery. I like how you have dedicated each stanza to a different prototype of human being: the elderly woman who is about to die, the newborn child discovering the world, the man building his future and the person whose heart has been broken so many times but still believes in the kindness of strangers. “Tread gently”, yes. I love your poem!
