you are my sanity if you only knew how close to the brink I come how desperate I am for a rhyme a reason to go one for one more season hoping to survive let alone thrive you are my sanity you are my sanity no one else can see the demons that flay every good thought, every day tearing at my peace piece by piece what can I say I will the night hours away wondering if I will see the dawn of day demon free happy you make it be you are my sanity you are my sanity my anxiety you assuage "hush hush... Girl, I love you so much let it all go you gotta know I'm not running away I'm here to stay hey! Hey! It's...its' Ok" I slowly unwind in your arms I can find the meaning of kind You are my sanity You are my sanity I close my eyes tight I let go of every thought, every plight and feel you move rhythmic and strong to you I belong nothing makes sense but you bringing me life love that overcomes strife i'm whole and I'm well I'm in heaven not hell the cosmos is me and you're now setting me free Release! Look at me! believe! You are my sanity Eileen Manassian

Having a man to stand by you in all your ups and downs is truly a gift, Eileen. Understandably, his love and strength can be your sanity. Hugs // paul

If this is a dedication to your daughter I am sure she is moved by it. A lovely piece.

My only son is my sanity, my panacea, my cosmos.... without him I'm just a shadow..... The beauty is no matter how you look at your poem is Shereen.....
