Little steps
Your first steps, you held on to my fingers, looking up with those excited eyes as your feet stomped clumsily around. All too soon, you stubbornly jerk your hands away and stomp forward, only to fall to the floor, crying. You reached for me, after the pain, You again jerk away, this time making it a few steps, before you fall. You look to me confused, why I hadn’t caught you and kept you from pain.
To soon, you began to run, again you would pull away from my protection, run away from me, experiencing what you can do, but still I follow behind, there to try to catch you when I can, to console you when I can’t.
You moved away, independent but you would run to me jumping into my arms excitedly, sometimes knocking me over rolling on the ground giggling. You always listened to my stories intently, hanging on every word. But all to soon, your friends called to you pulling you away from me.
You are busy, chasing life at daring speed, not having as much time to spend with me. All to soon, you stopped looking back to me when you fall. My stories get your attention less often. Following life, farther away then ever before. We talk less and you only want a hug when no one can see. You don’t look at me when you have pain.
Before long, you realize how far away from me you have gone. We didn’t leave each other all at once, just spent less time and you were distracted with life. Your friends have taken you where you don’t want me to know, areas you think I won’t come for you.
In reality, there is no place on earth I won’t come for you. No matter where you are, I will be there. You think we are to far separated for me to find you, you never see me and never notice me anymore. Distracted by greed, drugs, lust, and other sins, you dare not think I would follow you there, Ashamed to be there, you try to hide from me.
Don’t wait until you can’t cry anymore, don’t suffer any more then you want too, because I am there ready to catch you and console you. Call to me, reach for me, just turn and you will see me. I am here. I have never left your side, always there if you needed me, letting you experience all you wanted, but there to help you when you needed me.
You can still run to me, jump in my arms, joyously, but with all you have done, and all the sins you committed, you call me sir. My Child, how could I not embrace you? I let you run as far as you wanted, as fast as you wanted, never letting you out of my sight. I won’t reject you. I give you freedom, but you will never be alone. No matter how far, no matter how fast, no matter how much you try, you can not be without me.
Come home, you can bathe and be free from the troubles you carried for to long. Sit and listen to my stories again. Invite your friends; draw them to me, as they drew you from me. The stories you loved before, will have new meaning, now. I will never leave you in this world alone, call to me and I am there.
Come home, talk to me, like when you were a child, because to me you are still a child, we can roll around without a care as you did, when you were little. I created you, I created the world, I can handle the trouble you get into, and I can help prevent you getting into trouble in the future. Forget your stubbornness and pride, take my hand, lets talk.. The trail ahead is rough, once you are rested and ready, take my hands and I will help you through.
Just take small steps.
