Where Would I Be? Poem by Paul Reed

Where would I be without you?
I would be where strength is never found
Where the reassurance of love is lost
Where ships have run aground;

Where would I be without you?
I would be where hope cannot sustain
Where all endeavour is futile
Where the clouds are full of rain;

Where living is an empty care
Where hands were never held
Where peace is lost to war
Where dishonour was compelled;

Where the morning light never spills
Where promises are never true
Where nothing worthwhile is worth having,
Nothing without you.
