An Angel Saved My Life

One cold,winter's night,so long ago A man lay frozen,against a church door His break was shallow and his pulse was weak The alcohol had sunk to his core The man lay limp and motionless His eyes began to roll into his head It was almost certain that by morning This lost soul would've been dead As this man lingered between despair and death With snow blowing through his unkept beard A star fell down from Heaven And a marvelous creature appeared An angel stood majestically Dressed in solid white She knealt down to the man before her And told him not to fright She placed her hand on his frozen head As the snow painted the ground white The angel spoke in a soft voice saying, "You shall not die here tonight" With such a simple phrase,the angel went on her way To the Heavens from which she came The man lay in a peaceful slumber As warm as an eternal flame The morning came with a warm sunrise The new fallen snow glittered so bright The man awoke to the golden sun beams Happy to see the new light Suddenly,the church door opened A preacher stood there,staring at the man Before either spoke,the preacher extended his arm And offered a helping hand The preacher helped the man to his feet,and asked, "Is there someone I could call...a friend...a wife?" With tears in his eyes,the man could only say one thing, "An angel saved my life."
