Anonymous Gift of Life

This was the day I should have died...
But God had me under his watchful eye.
As the darkness flooded my mind with fear...
If only I could breathe, I wish my Mum was here.

Wanting to stand on my feet, so I could catch my breath...
But the waves kept coming, all it wanted was death.
My thoughts were saying " Oh dear! This is it!"...
When two arms lifted me out of this bottomless pit.

As oxygen filled my lungs with such releif...
He took me to my sister waiting on the beach.
This anonymous angel left as quick as he came...
I never saw his face, I never got his name.

There are so many thing's I would say to this man...
You saved my life!  Thankyou! I would shake his hand.
All these years on and I can honestly say...
If if weren't for this Angel I wouldn't be here today.
