Shelter in the Storm

Shelter in Storm

January brings a chill

Your memory is with me still

But you been gone so long

And I have carried on

You taught me tough love

I didn’t feel I was enough

But with time I see

That you always believed in me

And I miss your kinda love

Though I was dreaming of

Your goals being like mine

Your words always kind

Still you were my everything

Your love gave me wings

Your memory lives long

You were my shelter in the storm

Storm

My Shelter in the storm

You were wonderful

Annoying warts and all

Funny how we learn

And all the bridges we burn

How did you do it all

Get up every time you’d fall

I’m trying everything

To make it to another spring

And I miss your kinda love

Though I was dreaming of (ooooo)

Your goals being like mine

Your words always kind

Still you were my everything

Your love gave me wings

Your memory lives long

You were my shelter in the storm

Mangoes in the summer heat

Fresh cane sucked through my teeth

Ran away to this newfound home

To never return and I have grown

Far away from your memories

Unsure how they have shaped me

A new place A new country

A new face, no family

Led me to forever search

For love on high or in the dirt

Yet you remain within my bones

And I know with you that I was home

I miss your kinda love

Though I was dreaming of

Your goals being like mine

Your words always kind

Still you were my everything

Your love gave me wings

Your memory lives long

You were my shelter in the storm
