Every Step You Make


You can't see the wind
but know its power
after Katrina.

You can't see the roots
but its foundation
makes the tree grow.

You can't see the air
but it's oxygen
that sustains your life.

You can't see gravity
but it's the force making
planets orbit the sun.

You can't see love
but feel its warmth
embracing all over you.

You can't see the soul
but know its presence
by its form and function

for every breath you take
every step you make—
It is watching you.
