Unshakable Foundations



"Unshaken Foundation"


In your love, I find my solid ground,
A foundation unshaken, unwavering around.
You stand by me through life's joys and strife,
A constant presence, a steadfast life.


No judgment casts a shadow on your face,
Only acceptance, a warm and open space.
You see my flaws, yet love me just the same,
Embracing my true self, no conditions or games.


Your support uplifts me through every fall,
A safety net that catches me through it all.
You lift my voice when fears would silence me,
And whisper strength when doubts would deceive.


With you, I know I can weather any storm,
Together we'll brave life's uncertain form.
You remind me of my inner light,
Guiding me home through darkest night.
