Hi. This was my grandfather’s favorite poem. I never met him but it fell out of a book my grandma discovered years later with a note on it in his handwriting expressing to her that said it was his favorite, something she had never known until after he was gone because he never gave it to her. Thanks for posting it! It’s like you conjured his ghost. I’ve been told sometimes he “shows up” like that… and well, makes his presence known. 🙂
That beautiful! I also love this poem, it motivates me, “I am the captain of my soul” I believe our love ones send us subtle signs, we just have to be in tune, antennas up so to speak 😊 My grandma waves to me often but through numbers. I’m glad I was the vessel that enabled your grandfather to wave 👋
This poem also arrested me! It’s one of the poems I read when I feel defeated! After all these years from the first time I read it, it still has the power to restore me!
