Anchor

Take me away, I pleaded.

You saw into my dreams, into me.

Your smile lifted me from reality.

Where do we stand with the world?

 

This was the newest thing, the home and family.

I could see myself getting used to the feeling.

You picked me up and I stood on my feet again.

As I stumbled, you held my hand and gave me the will to go on.

 

In the form of a smile, a laugh, I loved it all.

I love it all.
You felt like home when I closed my eyes.

Took my breath away, I was drowning.

 

Opened my lungs and let the water consume all that we were,

All that we are.
You wouldn't let me fall, wouldn't let me down.

A god amongst the rest, you could never fail.
