Analysis of My Husband, My Friend, My Beacon of Hope



My storm is raging, I can barely cope.
And here you are a beacon of hope.
When it’s dark and lonely, your light burns bright,
When I want to give up you encourage me to fight.
Your warm glow calms my fears,
And with the sound of your voice my anxiety disappears.
There’s no need to worry anymore,
Because I know with your help I will find the shore.
