I walk through storms
through sleet, through hail.
I ask for more
no lies, no tales.
Lay me down
in sleep we fail.
Your touch is deep
with screams we sail.
All I ask,
all I pray,
is to hold me close
through tears, through rage.
To never falter
when skies are clear.
With gentle touch
teach me to not fear.
My heart is open
as we turn the page.
Together we are one
through timeless age.
