Compass

 "Compass"

By Adrielle R. Bollin

I came only for selfish gain

But you didn't mind

I was following a lure

But still you are kind

You never let go of me

Though I pull far away

You lure me, draw me, pull me

Make me hear what you would say

Still you dance with me

Whisk me around and around

I remember your affections for me

Your love the most beautiful sound

Always you hug me

And hold me close

Whisper reassurance

As your love you disclose

Amazing and wonderful

Resilient, vibrant and true

You teach agape with patience

Infinitely caring for all I say and do 

We're tied to each other

Like a sailor to the sea

As a compass needle returns north

 I'm yours eternally
