Lifeline

Adrift in a sea of insanity,
The darkness closing in
You shine like a lighthouse-
So bright, lifting the shadows
You are my lifeline

Lost I was, but now I'm found
As you guide me to shore
Even as the sharks swirl
Relentless and hungry
You don't waver or quiver-
You stay strong

Through crashing waves and strom
You cradled me with steady hands
Until I could swim on my own
I was drowning-
In fear, in silence

Yet you stayed
You never turned away
From the wreck I was
You are my lifeline

Now each day is a gift
Each sunrise, a whisper of hope
And when the storm comes again
As it will
I'll look to you
The light that never dimmed 

You are my lifeline
