Needs a bit of editing to tighten it up ~ use of "you" is too overdone. As an easy example with the first strophe:
"You build me up when I'm on shaky ground,
And you shelter me until I settle.
You are that nonmoving foundation on which I've begun to grow roots,
A steadfast presence in my life and my heart."
Could be tightened up a bit:
"You build me up when I'm on shaky ground,
Then shelter me until I settle.
You are that foundation where I've begun to grow roots,
A steadfast presence in my life and heart."
Message tends to get lost with all the repeated appearances of "you."
