Thank You, God…
…for notes of care
for calls of concern
for texts that embrace
for friends that erase
the sadness
the gloom
the self-pity
the doom…
…I ask
You provide…
…I pray
You respond…
…I long
You live on…
…in my heart
…in my soul
…in the voice of the other
You are there
unabashedly present
if only I look
if only I listen
if only I trust
You are there
everywhere
and I thank You.
