My Rock

‘Thank you’ could never be enough

for someone who’s given me so much —

my solid ground in shifting sands,

my compass when I’m lost in no-man’s-land,

the light in the window when every door is locked —

you are my rock.

When the darkness steals away my light

and the world breaks my will to fight —

when the seas have left me tossed and turned

and the fire has left my spirit burned,

when every path I try to forge ahead is blocked — 

you are my solid ground in shifting sands,

my compass when I’m lost in no-man’s-land,

the light in the window when every door is locked —

you are my rock.
