Always Listening

She had been through so much over the years
So one day she decided to have a talk with
The only father she ever knew
So many times tears streamed from her eyes
Tears caused by others words and actions

She said Lord I don't understand
Why me
Why must I go through so much hurt and disappointment
Why can't you just Carry Me through the bad times

He replied I already have my child
Every step of the way
I have a plan for you
But you must go through trials and temptations to see it

I'm always right beside you
Every decision you make
I hear
Every tear you shed I see

Every thought that comes to your mind
I hear
I hear you my child
You just have to learn how to listen with your heart

I've carried you every step of the way
And now it's time I hold your hand and walk by your side
As you carry out my plan for you and live your dreams
Remember my child I hear you
