When I met you

When I met you, 

I saw your hands and knew that they had fought but mostly not for you.

I saw your harms wide opened to care and shelter the needy 

    But when you needed it, where were these people?

    Were was their embrace and where was your HOME supposed to be?


When I met you, 

I saw your eyes and I could feel the sea, the storm and how your heart was lock in thee.

I saw your heart I just knew that your love would so often become

The greatest defence of those you considered family.


When I met you, 

I just knew in my soul that life brought you to me 

So you would know you are worthy,

So you could finally rest soundly 

With us, “juste ici”.
