He Knows

He is aware of the tiniest sparrow,
knows when it falls from the sky.
He knows the situations which sadden me,
that which can make me cry.
Knows there are times my faith falters,
times when I have to question why.

He knows each and every single strand
of hair upon my head.
He knows the problems and worries that plague me,
and the words that have gone unsaid.
Knows the situations which frighten me,
that which fills my heart with dread.

He knows the day, the hour, the minute 
when I am destined to leave this place,
to enter into my heavenly home 
where I will finally see His face.
And I know the blessings of knowing Him,
that He fills my life with His grace.

What comfort to know, "He Knows." When those around us only know portions of a situation, we may often be misunderstood. This poem relates to "down-where-we-live. Congratulations ! Colan Hiatt
