“Just because you don’t see him,
Doesn’t mean he isn’t there
Just because you don’t see him,
Doesn’t mean he’s not aware
He’s watching and waiting and learning what makes you tick
He’s deciding if he needs a rock or a stick
Just because you don’t see him
Doesn’t mean he doesn’t see you
He’s watching and making sure you don’t see his shelter too
Just because you don’t see him
Doesn’t mean he isn’t staying alert
He’s watching and waiting and making the air heavy with his presence and stare….”
