~
In every stage of this journey called life,
Cold dark nights,
Lonely times.
When voices of friends and well-wishers seemed drowned out,
By thundering of foes and loud scary shouts.
When dismal skies seemed to star each day,
When hope was fragile, and quickly whisked away.
When problem after problem came along,
When life was seeming rather long and drawn out.
~
Even when I did not know.
Even when I could not feel.
Even when I thought it was just me,
You were there.
Collecting tears in a bottle,
Labelling my name on them well.
Building character,
Teaching me faith and trust.
Bestowing promises,
Watching over your Word,
Never giving up.
~
Holding my hand, silently, even when I could not feel,
When I didn’t see you, You were right there with me.
On looking back, even when I felt alone,
Thanks for always watching over my soul!
