Presence

When he rolls over in the morning,
she's by his side.

Every time he thinks of a joke
or something he wants to share with her,
she already knows.

Long days spent driving down the interstate
delivering this or that to America,
she is sitting next to him

The morning coffees,
afternoon snacks
and quiet dinners,
she never misses one.  

Nights he spends crying,
she wipes his tears.

When fear fills him,
she comforts.  

He spends endless Sundays in church
praying for the one true thing
that will get him through,
and she's always kneeling with him.

When she went against her will 5 years ago
he thought he'd lost her,
yet she's everywhere now.
