I'Ve Been There Before

by Kerinth Campbell I walk before you, all the time Yet I have always been right here. I hear your calls I anticipate your sighs I know in the silent moments when you cry. I treasure those tears Yes! I understand your fears The road you think you alone are on, I have already been there. I have prepared the table The Oilf of My Presence rests Double portion on your head See, I have gone before I have walked the stony paths And smoothed the thorny bed. My child, the apple of my eye – My arms of love, healing and peace Encircle you. I am the Fourth Man And I am here with you – In the fire and the flood In the quiet, in the storm. The Son of My Presence Will rise on you in the morn.

Wow! this is wildly imaginative and soooo vivid. your wording catches me. "I have walked the stony paths and smoothed the thorny bed". This was beautiful, and it was posted last year, I can't for the life of me imagine why you don't have a bunch of comments. 7+++++
