POEM 70: MY EVERYTHING

When all goes wrong, and my life runs amok,
I think of you, and I get unstuck.
You're my peace, my happiness, my everything.

In the midst of chaos and lack and want, 
You make my heart sing the victory song;
You’re my peace, my happiness, my everything.

When storms arise and thunder rent the sky
You make me soar above the storm.
You're my peace, my happiness, my everything.

When life tastes sour and sights are gore
You fill my heart with pure delight.
You're my peace, my happiness, my everything.

When death stings and I lie in state
You fly my spirit to heaven's pearly gate
You're my peace, my happiness, my everything.
