I was adrift in the emptiness of life
not knowing when this storm would end
The waves were lapping at my boat
threatening to swamp me

Then out of nowhere
an island appeared

The most beautiful island
I had ever seen

I landed my boat on that island
and pulled myself ashore
Felt as if this was home
from the moment I set foot on it

Twenty-five years later
I'm still on that island

happier than ever

I just want to say
thank you for being "my island"
and rescuing me from the storm of life

I love you
