I Am There
Even if your heart is breaking ;
Trust me.
Even if you no longer feel my presence,
It is because you didn't notice:
I am there.
Only in stillness
and quiet understanding
Can you know me as I am.
My silence is my way
of strengthening you.
It is my way of encouraging you
to take that bold step of faith toward me.
Only my touch can ease
the pain you are feeling now.
Even if your heart
refused to be encouraged,
Take hold of my hand
and walk with me
And let me love you.
Let me teach you to love.
Let me teach you to laugh
And be happy,
To forget everything that has passed.
You are mourning for
what is not worthy of grief.
Let me teach you to build
on what you have experienced,
Instead of bending under the load of it.
