He Is There

In my times of distress
He bends down to listen.

When I am alone, like an owl in the desert,
He hears my plea and comes to me.

When my heart is sick, withered like grass,
When my groaning is more then I can bear:

     He is there!
     He is there!

I lie awake like a solitary bird on a roof
It is then when I cry out that He comes to me.

Tucks me in
fluffs my pillow
and  caresses my head

It is then when I sleep soundly,
secure in my bed.
