I saw you today,
looking out the train window,
lost in the thoughts that flow,
wondering if there’s more to the show.
I saw you today—
the celebrations and the fun
as you turned twenty-one.
I knew you before you had begun.
I see you every day
as you live in the now,
enjoying the little things,
no matter how life swings.
I see you every day—
your rush for adventure,
chasing dreams without measure,
against the odds and the pressure.
I saw you today
as the evening silence fell,
and your soul’s emptiness cast a spell.
You wondered who could tell
if there’s more to life
and where its meaning may dwell.
I saw you that day—
how broken you felt inside,
the tears you tried to hide,
how you longed for a love
that would forever abide,
and someone always by your side.
They will tell you,
“Life just happens—it’s a circus,”
but I made you for a purpose.
In My book, your days are written,
the hairs on your head are numbered,
and your life story is colored.
I knit you intentionally
in your mother’s womb.
You’re not a mistake—
I formed you for love’s sake.
You may not know Me,
but all your ways I see.
If you seek Me
with all your heart,
you will find Me—
I am not far apart.
For what profit is it
if you gain all
but lose your soul?
The way may be narrow,
filled with happiness
and sometimes sorrow,
but I will take care
of your tomorrow,
just as I do for every sparrow.
I watch you every day,
and I wonder if someday,
before your hair turns gray,
in the prime of your youth,
when you run and play,
you would come to know:
I am the Life, the Truth, and the Way.
