I DEPEND

You are the way
The truth and the light
Draw me towards you
With your great might

About Raelene J. Elliss
Many years ago, Raelene J. Elliss’ brother passed away in a drowning accident at a popular surf beach in South Australia. Her heart was broken, and the strain of the grief was unbearable. She had no idea how to express her feelings about that tragic loss.
One very warm evening, as she lay awake, unable to sleep due to the worry in her life, she wrote down her feelings on a scrap of paper. Out of that scrawling came her first poem. That was in 1986, and now more than 30 years down the track, Raelene has written more than 200 poems. They have mainly been for her family in celebration of milestones, birthdays, and Christmas.
She developed a knack for picking up a word, phrase, or very funny situation that would inspire a poem. She calls herself the Poetic Rambler and signs her poems as such. Raelene hopes that her poems bring joy and inspiration to whoever reads them.

Great imagery in this beautiful verse. It's very fitting to read at a celebration of a precious life lost. It's comforting and assuring that the Lord provides us with a heavenly sanctuary.
Mums are so very precious and a gift from God. This poem would be great on a Mother's Day card.
God bless the author.
If we all followed the beautiful simple sentiment of the poem we wouldn't have half the troubles we have.
This poem deserves every vote and more. The sentiment of this poem is me all over. We swirl around in our turbulent world bombarded by its sin. Having a battle plan for prayer is essential to our survival as a Christian. Gob bless the writer. Thanks for this awesome poem.
My own dad passed away when I was only 10 years old (46 years ago) I miss him as much now as I did then. Love never fades away. Memories are our everlasting legacy of our loved ones' lives. Thank you for this very special poem
