There Is You

When the sun sets I feel no pain.
When the thunder booms, I am not afraid.
When all around me is chaos and rain,
When all I can feel is anger and shame,
When I’m at my wits end and done with the games,
Despite all the aching, and fear, and the shaking,
I know there’s a soft, warm, radiant light
Courtesy of you, and your love, and your life
And I can then stand straight, smiling and dancing.
It is then I remember that life, with you, is for the taking.
