Curtis Johnson Poet Lyric

Along Came You

Back then, some 15 years ago was when,
I didn't realize it, but God knew
that I needed a friend.
And then, along came you.

The light was heavily blocked
by the moon of my stubbornness.
Dwelling in the shadows and inspired
by the spirit of restlessness,
I stood by a cave, not far
from the pit of despair.
And then, along came you.

The environment was isolated
and filled with polluted air.
And then, along came you.

At a time when I had drifted
off the beaten path, nearly lost
and feeling all alone; in a season when
I wasn't very strong; when my life was 
no longer a happy song but more like a
complicated puzzle or a game of ping pong.
And then, along came you.

With friendship fresh and pure as
the morning dew, along came you.

I dread to think where  I would have gone if you had not come along. Perhaps I would have continued to roam, never finding where I  belong.

So my friend, that is why, from the depths
of my renewed heart, I say, "Thank you".
