You are here
Beside me always.
I know
you are with me.
And though I may not see you,
When I stop and breathe
I feel your presence.
When I lie quiet in the darkness
Your unseen arms enfold me
And I hear your whisper in my ear.

You are the peace I know in the midst of the chaos.
You are the beauty I find when all around is spoiled.
You are the hope I find when the darkness descends.
And when I feel ugly you remind me of my true beauty.

How sad that at times my eyes are blind to what you show
How sad that my ears sometimes close to your words of comfort
How sad that the petty distractions of the world obscure your presence
And when worried I sometimes forget that your hands hold me

At those times remind me
that your patient love is mine forever
Your presence with me,
though unseen,
is eternal truth.
