I Saw You There

When I was scared of the dark
in the deep of night
certain that a monster
was lurking under my bed
I saw You there

When I anxious about fitting in
on the first day of school
hoping my clothes are the latest style
worried if my hair looked all right
I saw You there

When I needed encouragement
words to uplift my spirit
no one to turn to for comfort
no friendly voice nearby
I saw You there

When I was frightened
lost and alone
terrified of my own thoughts
what path would they lead me
I saw You there

When I was petrified
of failing that final exam
anxious that I wouldn’t
graduate with the rest of my class
I saw You there

When I took that difficult entrance exam
to get into the college You led me to
and worried about paying for classes
books and rent
I saw You there

When I was married
scared that I wouldn’t measure up
I looked around and didn’t see you
but when I looked over to my right
I saw You there

When my child was born
and I was terrified of the new responsibilities
each time I needed a helping hand
advice, counsel and support
I saw You there

When my grandchildren
needed to hear the wisdom
you bestowed upon me
to keep them on the straight path
I saw You there

Never have you left me
not even for a second
and now that it’s time
to close my eyes and sleep
I see You standing before me
with your arms open wide
