To The One in White

When you pass through waters, I will be with you;

 And when you pass through the rivers,

 they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire,

 You will not be burned;

 the flames will not set you ablaze.(Isaiah43:2)

You called me, but my mind was far away,

I have heard of your greatness,

Until, our first contact, 

Only to test you with some request,

 Then, part ways for a moment,

Through Great book have heard of you,

 Only for my heart, yearn for you,

To know you more,

To make you my Confidant, I searched,

To be my Confidant, I prayed,

Suddenly You whispered;'If I will open up my heart to you?

Then yes, I declared!

You filled my heart with joy,

Following your trail,

Through bends and ends,

You kept whispering to me,

Guiding me through darkest night,

My Guardian in white garb, 
overshadowing me at darkest night,

Swiftly moving as a shield,

And when I questioned some paths have tread,

 Then you show the ending Light,

' Still standing'; You said

Thicker than blood, You are

Only your steps I see,

Only your white robe, I see!
