I am always
Listening and hearing
Watching every step you take
Guarding you from afar
In the shadows

Watching over you like a cub
Strengthening you when you err
Completing you when something is missing
Holding you when it’s cold
Stroking you when it’s hot
Healing your wounds
Caring for everything
Just as you care for me

Teaching and planting seeds
Guiding and leading
Giving and taking

With you always
Step by step
Near and afar
When I’m not with you
And you yearn for my presence
I’m in your mind
The sound of me engraved in you

Telling you
What’s allowed and what’s forbidden
Right and wrong
Always growing

Intense like fire
That’s why I am here
To maintain and strengthen
Not just use
But put in use
So you can be the most you possible

There’s no need to fix
Just to polish
You’ll always sparkle
I just need to show you
The way

I’m not here to conquer
I’m here to love
Like a proud lion in this jungle
I watch over you
