close to me even when you seem hidden

God, I love you, I know you are here
close to me even when you seem hidden
when I am lost and feel alone
you are here, right by my side
watching over me, especially in the night
in those “dark night of my soul” nights
here with me, now, writing these lines
May I ever remember you are here
even when I hear silence, your word not in my ears
may I ever remember, you are here.
