MY CONSTANT

I fear when darkness steals the light.
And your image, I lose sight,
For in it, I always find delight—
Of staring, not for a brief, nor slight.

I tremble when silence deafens the music,
And hear not the sound I seek;
For your voice, soft and meek,
Inspires hope, never so bleak.

I quiver when coldness douses the warmth,
And ashes the fire from the hearth;
For your embrace is light to my path,
Wrapping me tender, like a swath.

I dread when rancor drowns the bliss.
And moments with you, I sorely miss 
For the time of love, I always wish
Casting loneliness down the abyss.

Be my comfort, always,
My unending strength;
For none could fill your place —
Your love and tenderness.
