My Angel of Life

Not so many years ago, as I lay curled in my sheets Drifting to that pleasant place, when you are really not asleep I felt a movement in my bed as if a presence did creep Wondering what it was, but awake I could not reach Then this presence held me up, and in their arms, wrapped me so complete. Remembering that feeling and how it felt so sweet. The next thing I remember is another presence there Squeezing tight upon my chest and taking me somewhere. I couldn’t breath, I couldn’t scream, I couldn’t even fight The pain wrenching through my body causing him delight. And then the fight was over and as the dark presence left I felt my angel release me, touching softly on my head Leaning over to whisper, everything will be alright. The angel of life saved me on that oh so scary night.
