“O Fragile Life”

This poem is a quiet reflection on being seen, wounded, and still grateful.

It speaks to the delicate balance between pain and love, acknowledging life’s harsh lessons while honoring the space it gives us to grow, endure, and simply be.

“O Fragile Life”

Someone, somewhere, hears my sigh,
Sees the tear I never cry.
Loves me softly, just a part,
For my hopes and for my heart.

For every dream I dared to keep,
For every night I couldn’t sleep,
For all the weight, the silent strife,
Still—you held me, O fragile life.

You were kind, yet you were hard,
You taught me slowly, left me scarred.
I still must learn, I still must grow,
Through paths I fear, through winds I know.

And even so, with all the pain,
With loss, with doubt, with quiet rain,
I love you, life, for giving me
The space to be… unbound and free.
