Notes About The Poem

'I Care About You'

When this 
meaningful phrase
bleed out from 
somebody's mouth
it seeps 
generously into
the mind
and heart
for perpetuity.
A phrase
so meaningful
and reassuring;
from friend
to friend,
from one lover
to another.
It translates to
"You can count on me"
A meaningful phrase
that leaves
an indelible imprint
on the heart
and mind.

You my friend nailed it with this very fine and insightful offering. Be it love or friendship-- the greatest treasure is the blessing-the gift of -"you can count on me"!! The heart, the soul, the mind must accept the majesty, the treasure that such as that represents. A fav-- and a very fine gem too.. God bless..

A wonderful poem. People rarely mean it when they say it. To have someone who really cares is a blessing. You made me feel the depth and true meaning of these words. Have a blessed day ahead. Take care, Rama
