Space

I had a feeling you would be there—  

the venue, so close to your place,  

a Saturday, a few days past your birthday.  

I had a feeling you would be there.  

I wanted to see you,  

to see them.  

It was a public event,  

but I had a feeling you wouldn’t want to see me.  

I had a feeling you would be there,  

but if you ignored me,  

it would break my heart.  

I didn’t know how you'd react,  

so I chose not to go.  

I had a feeling you would be there.  

So much of you stays with me.  

I didn’t forget your birthday—  

but I wanted to respect your space.  

Jesus, Take the Wheel

God, as I head into the unknown,

I give You all my worries,

And trust that You'll guide me

To where You want me to be.

Thank You for reminding me of my purpose,

And please don't ever stop.
