    If you ever had to say an earthly goodbye to a loved one or had to support anyone going through loss and fertility challenges, this poem will resonate with you.

    Today I am sharing this poem, one of the very first poems Hubbylicious @imwatsi and I wrote together, in the hopes that it will restore hope, peace and healing.

    I never saw your eyes (the poem) is based on the book: I never saw her eyes: Gaining from the pain of loss written by my beloved sister Keletso Yende.

    Anyone who has suffered loss can gain from the insights about grief and healing found in this book. It also gives a fresh perspective on how discovering one’s true identity and purposeful living can enhance one’s quality of life.

    I trust you will enjoy the poem- yes it is one of my favourites.


    I never saw your eyes (poem)

    Foundations cracked
    And I felt my world crumble from beneath

    The stillness of silence spoke volumes

    My path disappeared before my eyes
    Past, present and future changed
    I had no idea
    Where to put my foot

    I mourn...
    I cry
    I wrestled with the reality that you were no more

    I wonder what your laugh would've sounded like
    Giggles and sounds of pure joy

    I never saw your eyes
    Yet through your shut
    I found my sight

    The sight that opened my eyes to the endless possibilities of light

    Aye the dualities of life...

    We laugh and we cry
    We live and we die

    Smiles and frowns
    Highs and lows
    Ups and downs

    We transcend
    And grow from life's vicissitudes

    As reality fuses and fusses with conceptions and misconceptions of loss
    Attitudes create the ultimate latitude

    I conceived much more than I had hoped

    I never saw your eyes
    Yet through your shut eyes
    I found my voice

    Life comes bearing lessons
    Wrapped in pain
    For without pain
    Pleasure cannot be defined

    I never saw your eyes
    But that's just you signalling me to shut mine from pain
    Yes I gained

    Wisdom, courage, strength
    The ability to pay forward the gain from my pain
    All that from loss I gained

    I mourned
    I cried
    I wrestled with the idea that you are no more

    I now know more
    More of you lives
    More of me lives

    I know more than I could see through the pain

    I felt you
    As you kicked
    And grew within me

    You felt me
    As I cared for you
    With all that was within

    I find solace
    In the moments we shared
    Even though you didn't see me
    From the outside
    You felt my love, and saw me
    From the inside

    I never saw your eyes
    But you opened my eyes

    Unconditional, unbounded
    Love that lives through generations to come

    Oh yes my eyes are open
    Pain is but a temporary thing
    Open yours
    Today........
