Looking Back – January 2025 Poem

“omzien” comes from the book “Gedachten aan Maria” (Thoughts on Mary) from 2022 and is the Mary poem for January 2025

looking out for each other
means to pay attention
listen to what
the other one tells
the hearts let
Chains and bonds
people rely on it
Done.
To be ready
looking out for each other
to have a longing
for the other
To want to be submissive
With all that
What is there
looking out for each other
Keep a close eye
to and where
to help each other
to work together
to be a help
to pass on
looking out for each other
happens in silence
to keep believing
that there always
Someone wants to be ready
like Maria
