Love Poem: Anchor

Anchor

I am in the middle of my life’s greatest storm 

I am in bad shape, not really in proper form 

My body is failing it doesn’t want to perform 

I am glad you are with me keeping me warm 

  

Things are slowly turning from bad to worse 

Am I really on my way to my last trip in a hearse 

I don’t know why this is happening. Is this a curse? 

I hope that my ailment can really be reversed 

  

But even if I do hear death knocking at my door 

It’s presence I do try very hard to ignore 

Your love will keep me safe until I get to the safety of the shore 

You are the one who keeps me steady, you are my life’s anchor
