I Am Here/Poem'Pearlie Duncan

I Am Here 

When times are hard and

Days seem weary, I am here.

I am ever waiting, when you

Bow your head in prayer.

I told you when you are

Tired or scared, to cry.

I am here my son, my daughter.

It is I who stand by.

I was here when you were born;

Your family loved you so.

It is I who will be here when you die.

To Heaven I would have you go.

Look up to the sky; I am

Farther away, but in your heart.

Although, sometimes, you leave me

Out a bit, I shall not part.

I am here when you fall.

I lift you up and take you back, again.

I hold you closely to my heart

And wash you clean from sin.

Temptation comes to you. I know,

At times, you cannot, refrain.

When you fall, again, your life

Feels cold as winter rain.

I am here when you or a loved one

Is ill; when a babe is born.

I will be here when you leave this world;

I will help the babe to mourn.

I am here, with you, when the rains fall

Or snow is upon the ground.

When you go through trials and

Tribulations, I can be found.
