Can you be my guiding light;
Star in an endless night,
Leading me back to the safety
Of the shores of home;
The solace of your embrace
Can you be my song;
Melody to sustain the divide;
Music to heal the hurt,
Mend the brokenness inside;
Stitch the shattered heart
Can you be my poetry;
Spoken word of strength;
Verse that empowers,
Emboldens my weak soul;
My shield and portion be
