The Haven

For many years I watched you grow
I watched you dim and I watched you glow 
I watched you brave the fire and snow 
I watched you still and I watched you flow 

You've been my shelter from the skelter 
You sheltered me so I would not loiter 
My soul could sore and fester 
Without your smile and laughter 

For even if some folks are rough 
Even if the odds are tough 
I was with you throughout the years 
With you I learned to face my fears

You've been my home against the storm 
You've let me stay so I would not roam 
For within you lies my precious sunshine 
My haven, oh Divine

In memory of my workplace for the past seven years
