Poem - I Knew You'd Be Up
It’s 3am
I know You knew I’d be up
Mind spinning
Thoughts swirling
Thank You Father God for being the
Gentleman that You are and letting me just be
I know You knew I’d be up
Wondering
But not worrying
You know me so well
I know You knew I’d be up
Wanting to talk to You
Wanting to thank You
Wanting to praise You
I know You knew I’d be up
Needing You
Needing to know
Wanting to know
But not asking why
I know You knew I’d be up
Sitting on the edge of my bed
Under the glow of darkness
Within my room that wasn’t pitch black
A silent cry
A teardrop falling
You whispered
“Lift your head. Look up.”
You wanted me to see the word
The word I pinned to my faith board
in January
The word You gave to me for the new year
Through watery eyes
I saw it
I saw it and I smiled
I knew You knew I’d be up
I knew You knew I needed to not be
I laid back down
Cradled my head on my soft satin pillow
Pulled the covers up over me
Closed my eyes
I lay down both in peace and sleep
You knew
