There are moments that
I know God is on my side.
I feel God’s presence
I hear the soft whispering in my ear
I smell those fragrances only I recognize as holy.
I see those signs that are just for me
I taste the freshness of creation in my foods
In all this I know something quite powerful
God is on my side.
I hold on to this feeling
Because somedays I am not sure
I am not sure anybody even knows I am alive
I am not sure I matter in this world
I am not sure I am making a difference
There are days I want to be held and told
It is ok
And then I reach out and
God is on my side
God is there
In good times and bad
Reminding me I am loved
Bringing me through
Helping me to know I matter
Giving me signs I am making a difference
Holding me and telling me that
God is on my side
