Poem: My Beloved One

My beloved one…

Introduction

Quite often in life, we find ourselves separated from the people we love most.

My poem was written to soothe the hearts of those who may be suffering from grief, homesickness, or any change in circumstance that keeps them apart from their cherished ones.

It was created with kindness, intention, and compassion — a quiet offering of comfort for anyone who needs reassurance, connection, or the gentle reminder that love does not disappear simply because distance exists.

I hope these words bring calm, solace, and a sense of belonging and closeness to those who need it most.

My beloved one…

Promise me you will stay safe.

Though circumstances keep us apart,

you are always in my heart —

my constant, quiet light

in the spaces where love cannot speak,

but can, without any shadow of doubt, be felt.

Question not whether I love you,

for it is written in the stars,

in every breaking dawn

and every setting sun,

in every waxing and waning moon —

a love carried across the heavens

that no distance can dim.

Even the tears that gather in my eyes

are not from sadness,

but from pride so profound

it stuns me to silence —

especially as I see

how far you’ve come,

and what a beautiful, gentle being

you have become.

And so, my beloved one,

breathe slowly,

and go forth gently in this world.

Be nourished,

be steadfast.

Make new friends,

but do not be led astray,

nor fooled into a false sense of security

by the unwise.

Remain true to yourself.

Fear nothing,

for the bells will chime

to remind you that you will always be

my darling,

my beloved one.
