I Can See You


I’m beginning to see You now

Above this wretchedness I’ve called loss

And I realize that I’ve been seeing You all along,

All along this long HARD journey.

Immovable it’s been…like trying to push on a mountain.  I sweat, I get frustrated, my muscles feel numb and useless.

But You’ve been with me,

Feeling it with me.

You didn’t exit when my agony pushed others away.

No.  You took my pain as Your own and showed me kindnesses multiplied.

You held my family together for me, kept our sanity intact.

You fought for us every step of the way.

It’s been so long…and such a short time…

Six years since my son went from my arms to Yours.

It’s taken some time to escape the dreams, irrational…

nightmares…

that You’d give him back to me.

My memories haunt me, the good ones and the bad.

I often still feel choked by the realization that I can’t see him anymore, but I’m beginning to realize that I can see You.

And I am thankful…

For You

For my son

For You and my son in Heaven now

Together.

I sit back and imagine.

He understands it all now.

Better than I.

He’s lived true worship.

Without any ounce of sin or its effects.

He knows true joy.

He’s happy.

You make him that way.

You alone are worthy of praise.

He’s praising You.

He sees.

He understands.

He gets it.

Thank You.

You are so kind to me.
