Shelter

Shelter poem by Iris Carden

Who will be your shelter
in the storms of life?
Who will protect you
from toil and strife?

Who will keep you safe,
and guard you from all harm?
Who will be your anchor
in times of alarm?

Have you learned the secret?
Have you heard the word.
How to keep safe 
in a troubling world?

Become your own shelter
for all the storms of life.
Protect yourself from danger,
from all the toil and strife.

Friendship and even love
should be given free.
Not something dependent
on insecurity and need.

Perhaps you’ll find someone
who will face the storms with you.
But with them, or alone,
you will make it through.
