He Will Never Forget Me

I will never forget you.

To forget.

I mis-

 place and dis - regard

and forget,

yet

sparrows

He does not forget,

and

hairs,

He knows each number.

He cares.

I am no sparrow.

Sometimes I feel more insignificant than that,

a speck

no,

a molecule.

Number of hairs and grains of sand

each strand, falling one by one over her tear-soaked face

each grain moving with the tide

exactly when it needs to

exactly where it needs to

Tears and tides exist as a catalyst,

to evoke a response that otherwise would not be achieved.

A grain,

a strand,

a sparrow,

they aren’t

even

aware

that He cares,

yet He never forgets.

He will never forget me.

*Luke 12:4-7; Jeremiah 5:22
