Watching you

I am always

Listening, hearing,

Watching every step you take,

Guarding you from afar,

In the shadows.

Watching over you like a cub,

Strengthening when you falter,

Completing what 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, planting seeds,

Guiding, leading,

Giving and taking.

With you always,

Step by step,

Near and far.

When I’m not with you

And you yearn for my presence,

I live in your mind,

My voice engraved within you.

Telling you

What’s allowed and forbidden,

Right and wrong,

Always growing.

Intense like fire—

That’s why I am here,

To sustain and strengthen,

Not just to use,

But to put to purpose,

So you can become the fullest version of you.

There’s nothing to fix,

Only to refine.

You will always shine;

I am only here

To show you the way.

I’m not here to conquer—

I am here to love.

Like a proud lion in this jungle,

I watch over you.
