You were always there, God, and yet, there was a time I didn’t know you through the love of my mother’s arms,
And I didn’t smell you in the wonder of the first summer rose.
You were always there, God, but there was a time I didn’t hear you in the whisper of the leaves above my head,
And I didn’t feel You in the touch of animal fur beneath my fingers.
You were always there, God, and yet, there was a time I didn’t taste Your sweetness in hymns and Christmas carols,
Nor did I see You in the very things You created.
How could I not know You through the wonder of the senses You gave me with which to experience Your creation?
