I am the quiet moment
   at the ending of your day
The peace you seek in
   this harsh world

I am the warmth of a
   distant fire
That keeps you
   coming home

I am the wind that
   lifts you up
When your courage
   and strength seem to fail

I am the dawn that
   brightens on a promise
There for you, in all
   ways

I am all these things
   and more
Because you love me.

Paula,  a beautiful poem, really enjoyed it,

I am the wind that
   lifts you up
When your courage
   and strength seem to fail

I am the dawn that
   brightens on a promise
There for you, in all
   ways
