Never Alone

My life
is meant to be
a partnership
with God.
Sometimes
he walks beside
to guide,
sometimes
he carries me.
I am never alone.

Too often
I ignore
his guiding
presence,
choosing
to do it
my way,
ignoring help -
autonomous.
When tossed about
by circumstance,
I blame God
for leaving me
alone!

But then I see a cross
and one who cries,
"My God,
I’m all alone!"
And then the cry,
"That’s it!
Complete!"
He bore
my loneliness and sin.
Teach me to walk
each day with you -
never alone!
