"Already There"

When there are big changes

In front of me…

Small hills to climb,

Large mountains behind,

You see.

When nighttime pulls me

With it’s dark dream…

And twighlight’s a warning,

I’m alone until morning,

You sing.

When weariness engulfs me

And no comfort is near…

And I close my eyes,

And pray through my cries,

You hear.

When I surprise myself

And conquer great feats…

Slay mighty giants,

And sing songs of triumph,

You beam.

When I have no answers

To all of the whys…

And I can’t foresee harm,

And I cannot keep warm,

You cry.

When assaulted by solitude

And there is no one…

To hold me past the tears,

Dissipate my fears,

You come.

When epiphany catches and

I stop running for a while…

Let myself just be,

And learn how to love me,

You smile.

When morning dawn finds me

Happy for a fresh chance…

And I awake with a smile,

Hopeful heart and clear mind,

You dance.

Through hard times and joys…

Like fresh rain from above…

Unconditionally quenching,

Saturating and drenching,

You love.

Through each of life’s journeys

You were and are always there…

Without even a call

You’re right there through it all.

You care.
