I KNOW I AM LOVED

I Love You.

Let me not consider

why or how

things happen or

what

will become of me.

Last night after I had gotten up twice

and tried to go back to sleep

my brain began recalling the day

and music

and everything

I didn't want to hear.

Above all the noise in my head

I heard Your calming voice,

"I am here.

Rest.

Lean against me.

Let me hold you.

Go to sleep."
