Dear child
You’re walking along this path
Sometimes running,
Sometimes stumbling
Sometimes walking
Sometimes trudging
Sometimes falling
Sometimes following blindly
The signposts.
You may not know where
You are travelling to,
You look at the directions
Dotted along the way,
Indecipherable to you,
And wonder
How to make sense of it
Find meaning,
Or understanding.
But child,
Know,
There’s a destination,
At the end
You’re not walking mindlessly
Nowhere.
If you stop
You’ll dragged
Into the quicksand.
Just keep on going,
At the end,
You’ll understand.
Like walking through a maze,
There are always dead ends,
And wrong turnings,
You aren’t above,
So can’t see where you’re heading,
But,
I am above
I’m watching over you,
Guiding you,
I’ll always look after you,
And ensure,
The no matter how,
You’ll reach me
And be with me,
Always
The end,
When you’ll know
That I’m there even in the darkness
That I’m with you always
Even when you can’t see it.
Now,
You may not be able to see me
But I’m with you,
Now and forever
