HAVEN
Added 2021-10-17 06:18:52 +0000 UTCWhen buffeted and beaten by life’s storms,
When by the bitter cares of life oppressed,
I want no surer haven than your arms,
I want no sweeter heaven than your breast.
When over my life’s way there falls the blight
Of sunless days, and nights of starless skies;
Enough for me, the calm and steadfast light
That softly shines within your loving eyes.
– from a poem by James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938)
