In You I am

Inspirational Poem

By Distinguished Honorary Alumni Dr. Matthew PrimousPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

In you I am

In you I shall

In you I live

you are closer than my mother

you are closer than my father

And that is why I want to see your face

In you I have joy

In you I have peace

In you I have meaning

Your eyes will tell me my heart

In your face I shall see my soul

And when I behold you

I will know who I am

I cast down every achievement

I cast down every award

I cast down even a golden crown

Because you mean that much to me

You are my everything

You are my source

You are my strength

Oh God you are my life

And I cannot exist without you
