Place of Haven

I run to you when I wish to flee
The problems and people that torment me,

You're my place of haven; my place of peace,
I can rant to you my troubles; you're my emotional release.​

You never cease to comfort me when I'm feeling somewhat blue,
You can sense my internal feelings when nobody else has a clue.

You're one of the few people that I can trust,
You only offer a listening ear, and are never unjust.

Not only a friend, but a teacher, parent, and sibling too,
You're calming, considerate, generous, and tried and true,

Always gentle and guiding, and never one to fight.
​A long talk with you can leave my whole world looking bright.​
​​​
I hope never to lose you, because the day that I do,
You'll take a portion of my heart and soul along with you.
