Where do I turn
When life rocks my boat
Where do I go
To stay afloat?

The storms of life
So often strike
They rock my boat
To my dislike

You are my rock
My only place
That I can go
You give me grace

You are with me
Though the hardest of times
And you even carry me
When I need it sometimes

Without you
I’d be stuck in the sand
I’d be lost in life
And I wouldn’t find land

Without you
Where would my purpose be?
I would have none
I’d be lost at sea

How do you whip up this many poems so quickly?  It takes me a month to write a good poem!  I'm so jealous, but I suppose one has to have the creative talent....sigh, oh well.  I guess I'll stick to reading your poems, they're much better than mine anyways :)
