Strength

Your presence washes over me
Like a cool, cleansing breeze
When I falter and doubt
Your image gives me strength

You are an inspiration
For all who have strayed
Our destiny is our own
To make and to change

The thought of a world
Devoid of your fiery spirit
Has made me truly appreciate
Every moment we have spent

I pray I never know
The despair and the loneliness
Of travelling along life's path
Without your warmth beside me

In your own stoic way
You feel the same thing
That we two are one
And our hearts, forever joined.
