Being With Me

Did you paint the extra orange in the morning sun,
adding colour to my day as it had just begun?

Did I hear some music that made me start to sing,
or did you tell a hummingbird to touch me with its wing?

Did you stop my brow from frowning and in its place,
did you turn a rainbow over, putting a smile onto my face?

Did you calm my restless thoughts as I lay awake at night,
by rewriting all my dreams so I could snug up tight?

And when my tears well up and I really have to cry,
did you tilt the moonlight to add a sparkle to my eye?

Was it really laughter that I heard from the outside,
or did you breathe onto a feather to tickle both my sides?

And when my spirit feels heavy and I'm hurting through and through,
whisper to me a memory so that I may think of you.

And where I find love in this life, did you play your part,
by tugging at the strings to the middle of my heart?

And when I know the answers, is it from the books which I have read,
or have you spoken greater wisdoms to the thoughts inside my head?

And when my time is up and my journey here is through,
I know I'll get to heaven because I've been guided there by you.
