Terry, I’ve got you

You are my beloved

I formed you in the womb

And have called you by name

I greatly delight in you

I see your joys

I see your hurt

Your weariness at times

The tears that easily and so often

Well up in your eyes

 

I love when

In your weariness

You look for and find pathways

And thresholds

That lead to the light

Of my cracked open door

Left open for you to

Come in

And be loved

 

I love when you

Lift up your head and eyes

To the sky at night

To ponder the mystery

Of the moon and stars

Millions above you 

To think of me

And I see you Terry

Made in my likeness

And I see you get up 

In the early morning 

 

I see your longing heart

Your deep sighs

Your cry to me

Your many thoughts

And questions

Your imaginations

I  see you

And I hear you Terry

And - I’ve got you

 

I will never grow tired of you

Or abandon you

My arms are extended 

Wide open with glee

As you run to me

For dear life

When you find that quiet

Seemingly hidden pathway

Leading to the threshold

Of my waiting presence

And you enter the light

Of my goodness

Waiting for you

I’ve Got you Terry

My dear worthy child

Made in my likeness

The moment I breathed 

Life Into you

I’ve Got you Terry

 

All is well

And All shall be well

It is going to be Alright

Rest in and enjoy

The playground

Of my safe harbor

And come to me often

I am always here

I will never forsake you

My beloved child

I’ve got you – you are mine
