lost

a poem

You are the compass that guides me,
My North Star showing me the way home.
You are the harbour that protects my ship,
Sheltering me from the approaching storm,
Whose walls hold me tight and keep me warm.

Yet you are the wind that fills my sails,
Taking me to new shores and new adventure.
You are the sun that warms my heart,
That gives me the strength to make it through the day.
And the rain that washes all my troubles away.

You are the song that lifts my sunken spirits,
That gives me hope and makes me smile again.
You are the beautiful melody I write my life to,
The beat that keeps me going at any cost.
You are everything, but without you I am lost.
