I do not hear your footsteps

as you approach me sitting in silence

my eyes glazed, staring out the window

at the early morning newness.

I do not hear your footsteps

as a tear runs down my face

overwhelmed with oceans of emotion

as I whisper a prayer to you.

I do not hear your footsteps

as I lift my words to you

hoping with my heart and soul

that you will hear my desperate words.

I do not hear your footsteps

as I feel a comfort sweep through me

like a warm breeze in the spring

or a blanket wrapped around me in winter.

I do not hear your footsteps

as I begin to feel a strength

from deep within it grows

and I know I am not alone.

I do not hear your footsteps

but I feel your presence there

now knowing I'm not alone

I can feel your loving rush through me.

I do not hear your footsteps as I end my silent prayer

but, as I stand to face whatever the day will bring

I know that your footsteps will never walk the other way...

I had to write this after sitting at the kitchen table this morning. It was quiet. The hour was early and the world was still sleeping. I looked out the window and felt the need to pray. As I did, my eyes misted with tears and although frightened, I knew that I was not alone. I wrote this small poem/prayer to convey the feelings I had, but know that the words do not do it justice. I don't know if any ever will. It's my hope that when you are in need, you "hear" the silent footsteps of God, coming to your side and comforting you like a child. For that's what we all are, to me.

No matter what your age, we are children of God who will never be abandoned by our Father -- no matter what !
