You are my North Star…
the anchor I cling to when
the clouds darken
and the seas roll
You are my oasis…
the quiet place I thirst for
when the desert surrounds me
and hope is fading
You are my lifeline…
the connection I cherish
when friends are few
and I feel alone
You speak to me
in favorite songs
and notes from friends
who try to salvage my spirit
You are my deepest breath
the grace filled pause
that keeps me upright
in this topsy turvy world
You remind me of the folly
of storming through each day
not recognizing Your presence
in the quest for contentment
Yes, You are my One and Only North Star
never so high in the heavens
that You lose sight of this poor traveler
so dependent on Your guiding light and saving love
