Where have you been today Lord?

Because I didn’t feel you near.

I looked but I couldn’t find you.

I tried to sense you around me, but there was nothing.

My day was all hollow and empty.

All bare and black, devoid of colour.

                               

My child, I have been with you today.

Besides you, nudging you this way and that.

Just because you did not sense me

Does not mean my absence.

I will never leave you, nor forsake you.

You mean the world to me.

Trust me child.

Even on the barren, dark days I am here.
