Found By Accident

Found a poem I wrote by accident
That caused me to have a shocked reaction
It was on 'A hundred days of poetry'
On YouTube, day one, for all folk to see.

Though I was not asked for my permission
It was read so nice all was forgiven
I wrote it back in the days of Covid
When we wore masks to cover our noses.

The poem had the title "Have you Seen"
How for all the medics it must have been
And all of those who work behind the scenes
The helpers, caterers, all in the teams.

I wonder what guided me on that day
To see and hear my poem on display
Have we a guardian angel perhaps 
Out there with their feathered wings under wraps.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Thank you Valsa, I’m so glad I found my poem read out on YouTube, it really did the poem justice. I’ll never know what led me to find my poem out there, it was one of those unexplained occurrences… Beryl

how delightful to find a poem....like finding a part of yourself. Truly a wonderful experience aptly conveyed in your poem Yellow Rose

I second the emotion, Yellow Rose --- 'like finding a part of yourself.'

Dear Beryl, what a joy to find your poem out in the world by surprise! It’s a little miracle just like a guardian angel fluttering just out of sight guiding your words to new ears. O, Covid and how the kindness and courage that carried us through. Blessings, My Dear Beryl, Daniel

Dear Daniel, it was a joy to have found my poem out there by surprise, I see it as a little miracle too. They say God works in mysterious ways, how very true. Thank you Daniel, blessings returned… Beryl
