When I am drowning
Third time down
Seas close overhead
You retrieve me
Bring me round
Banish every dread

There is no doubt
You’ve not reversed
No pain you’ve let me bear
Once I share my hidden angst
And once you are aware

Despite your full and busy life
You go so far beyond
To make me feel secure and loved
And comforted, and strong

Thank you, love, for hanging on
Through challenges I bring
I say you mean the world to me:
That’s truly what I mean
