"My Shelter"
©2000 by Little Rascal

I read the words the poet wrote
About the power of a voice.
Its healing, calming qualities
The lyrical sounds afloat.
Did you know that you posess a voice
That does these things for me?
It sings to me of peace and joy
Is my shelter in the roughest sea.
When life is cruel I run to you
Knowing you'll gather me in
And softly whisper the words I knew
Were tossing in the wind.
You send them my way
With all your love
And in my heart they stay
Calming my temper, drying my tears
Reassuring me every day.
