there you are

in the cool morning breeze
and the before the sun rises
and after it falls and sets
there you are

in the traffic waiting at the light
in the few moments of silence
and in the other busy moments as well
there you are

as I tell my wife I love her
and watching as my newborn sleeps through the night
even as my cats run around our house into the early morning
there you are

in the moments
where I can't think
where I don't know what to say
when I fully miss the point that you are trying to make
and when I breathe
and when I sleep
and when I rise
and every moment in between that I blink my eyes
there you are

At no moment have you left my side
looking closely I can see you in it all
looking back telling of your greatness to my kids
I can say, "there you are"

when I feel I don't measure up
anxiety, doubt, worry, and fear show up
when I seem to have fallen too far and fast
when I have made a mockery of your name
there you are

thank you for being there
for being here
in the everyday moments I forget
that you are there

In the beginning...In the end
In the summer...In the winter
In the palace...In the prison
In the island...In the desert
In every moment there and every other in between
there you are

we do not have to look far
to see there you are
