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.
