Lifeboat

You’re my lifeboat.

When life’s river gets rocky

And menacing storms

threaten to derail me,

Your mere existence

calms my soul.

Sometimes I sit by the banks

Gazing at you on a sunny day

And my heart swells with gratitude.

I feel safe

Because of the promises you made:

Promises to protect me,

Promises to be there,

Promises to carry me

When I could not find my footing,

Traversing the rocky shores of life.

You’re my lifeboat;

There’s no one else I need

As we journey through this world to the next.
