HOW WILL I KNOW…

…if I’m not there.

How will I know…

that you’re OK.

How will I know…

that you’re safe.

How will I know…

that you’re stable.

How will I know…

if someone is there for you.

How will I know….

when I don’t know what you’re feeling.

How will I know…

when you actually might need me.

How will I know…

when I can’t see your face and read into all the little things I know about what that means.

How will I know…

when you feel confident,

when you’ve done something amazing, and you feel like conquering the world.

How will I know…

when you’re at your lowest.

How will I know…

when you’re laughing your guts out.

How will I know…

when you’re being too hard on yourself, because you always are.

How will I know…

when you’re laying in bed at night and feel alone, even if you’re not.

How will I know…

when you make tough decisions,

or when the people around you are building you up or bringing you down.

How will I know…

when you figure out something new about yourself.

How will I know…

when you’re hurting, because of someone or worse, your own self.

How will I know…

when you’re hiding behind those walls you’ve built, that only I can see through.

How will I know…

when you see the awe and wonder of life.

How will I know…

when you need to cry.

How will I know…

when you need to be held or when you need to scream and yell in a safe place.

How will I know…

And then I realize…

I don’t need to know…

Because He does.
