Notes About The Poem

 

SOMEONE TO HOLD

We all have many fragile parts
and life throws many sharp honed darts.
Do you find comfort when pain hits its mark,
inside the blackest of your dark?

Is there someone who would hold you
should you abruptly fall apart?
Is there someone in your life who is
truly invested in your heart?

Pain and joy are same hand deal
both have rope to claim us all.
Some pain we cannot conceal.
We need arms as a healing shawl.

Even the strongest in faith
may break from all life takes.
We will all bear pains that scathe.
Healings are what love can make.

Is there someone you could hold
should they fall apart?
Is there someone who believes
you are invested in their heart?

Paul Callus March 16, 2026 at 8:42 AM In life there are moments when we feel the need of emotional support, or to connect with someone who understands, helping us to pick the pieces and fix them together again. It would not be a big problem if one could rely on a person he/she truly loves...(springing to mind "True Love" a song by the Everly Brothers). ~ Warm regards my friend // paul

Kim Rodrigues January 21, 2026 at 6:49 PM We need someone, but too many don’t help. Then that somebody is tied up with their own personal things. Life changes abruptly especially as we age. Great thoughts!

Karen Jones January 21, 2026 at 4:34 PM Love the quote and poem! I am just not able to do this form! Bravo to your skills!

Sam Kauffman January 20, 2026 at 11:32 AM CayCay, what an eloquent expose on each of our struggles to find love in this world. Love your judicious use of questions and the turn at the end of the poem asks us to look outside ourselves, to be there for another person when they feel pain. We are community! Blessings of comfort to you! Best wishes if this is for a contest.

Gershon Wolf January 17, 2026 at 8:18 PM Another FAVE, CayCay. This speaks to me in ways that I cannot share with anyone other than my wife. But I assure you it totally speaks to me. Thank you so much for this fine poem. ~ All Hearts, Bleeding and Otherwise, gw
