Shoreward, Lyrics for my boyfriend.

[Magenta]

Shaking hands, mine in yours,
calm me down, place my feet on the floor.
Help me stand, don't leave me here
because even your breathing relieves my fear.

You protect me from harm,
keep me far away from any storm.
And when the storm comes to me,
you help me hold on and try to set me free.

Stepping stones, brought into the sun
when you're there to be the one
who keeps me strong and walks me forward
and keeps me swimming shoreward.

You make me laugh and smile.
Did you know I hadn't smiled in awhile?
Constant illness pulls me down
But when you are here that just turns right around.

If life were a hill then
you'd help me over; I'm saved once again.
Choppy waves of the sea change
when you help my emotions to rearrange.

Stepping stones, brought into the sun
when you're there to be the one
who keeps me strong and walks me forward
and keeps me swimming shoreward.

This seems like a blur, a time that may pass too soon
and if it changes I will have to attune.
Until then, I thank you for what you've done
for you've helped me through each problem one by one.

Stepping stones, brought into the sun
when you're there to be the one
who keeps me strong and walks me forward
and keeps me swimming shoreward.
