Steadfast
Sturdy like the house my grandfather built, let me build a foundation beneath you and you can balance on me when you're feeling less than able. “Lean on me when you're not strong,” they say, but I want you to lean on me always. As wild as the waves, as soothing as the sea, as infinite as the ocean, and as warm as the midday sun, I want my steadfast love to keep you safe, bring you peace, and fill you with joy for the rest of (y)our days.
