Be Certain of Me
BE CERTAIN OF ME
When your soul wanders in shade
And steps in danger, don’t be afraid.
Look for me in dream-empty places
Where you find no known faces
Know that you will find this guide.
Know that I am at your side
Don’t think of me always
Don’t doubt, pause, question, faze.
Think of me when feeling small
Be certain, I am here, tall.
If they forget, reject your plea
I’m still in you, you in me
Hear me in your laughter bright
Feel me in your firelight
Reach for me in dark and cold
My hand is always warm to hold
Sleep deep with me, heart-warm -
Protection sure from the storm
Wake up looking in my eyes
See me here in your sunrise
Hold my hand and I’ll support
Take my arm and I’ll escort
If you fall, I won’t fail
To save you. Do not quail .
