My Rock

My Rock

              I sit silently in pieces
                  Watching the hands circle the clock
                      Until you come to comfort me
                    And let me lean on you, my rock.
                     I may smile a thousand smiles,
                     But there is still a wall to block
                    Out others who long to hurt me.
                 And through it all, you were my rock.
                    Your light gives warmth to many,
                    And I watch as they try to unlock
                       The gifts you have to offer,
                     But for me you remain my rock.
                   Each day is a bright new challenge
                  For me to choose right over wrong,
                  And though you may not be with me,
                      My Rock, you keep me strong.
