& God? why can't it be fair for all of them.

those tired, sick, so confused. the hearts being ripped in two while the thunder shakes thier small trembling bodies. the fear. that frozen stiff feeling. eyes squeezed shut. feeling the presence of something. someone. giving you those thoughts that bring your heart beat high above. a cold sweat.

can they not feel your big arms holding them so tight. keeping them so safe? can they not whisper your name so soft & feel relief. what do they call on when they feel that fear? maybe they have to fear all through this dark night.

& my heart reaches to them. pulling them closer. but they don't understand. & they ask me with big eyes. who is God? & i tell them. but they don't know. my daddy made the mountains he said with his tiny hand pointing.

closing my eyes i ask for him to touch this small boy. cover his wonders. hold his heart.

we take this safe christian life so for granted.

these warm homes. the fireside devotions with your kind family. a family that you can trust.

trust they will always be kind. be there.

and @ night when you are tempted to fear. & you kneel down and the fear lifts out of the room making you feel light. happy. & touching your bible you feel blessed. safe.

busy streets.

bright lights.

so much commotion & raised voices.

& they have no idea.

this joy.

that they are missing.

the mountains are still watching. - ginger.
