My Anchor

Let's me sail free, yet holding me together tight Stays firmly grounded, for me, to attain horizons bright All through the rough rains, gives me all my might In the insane winds lets me realise to set my sails right Silently promising me safety, in the moonless dark night The love unconditional that holds me sane in the plight Bound to me all along; in my misery and delight Caring for me like a baby, never letting me out of sight Away fighting the storms, guarding me ever, like a knight Yet at the slightest distress, beside me winning my fight Calming my anxious nerves with his steady quite Though weighing down with all his bulk, keeps me cool and light In the lone seas holding my life out to him with trust forthright; My Anchor is the reason I see hope of new day at every twilight...
