Do you know that you saved yours truly!

Do you know that you saved yours truly? 
Your courage stood bright, and your heart didn't find me unruly

You fought for me, even though you barely knew me,
A stranger’s shield, a light that defended freely
In shadows where hope had dimmed and grown frail,
You offered your hand through the darkest of gale

With eyes filled with kindness, you dared to engage,
A fierce resolve sparking from a blank page
Each step you took echoed through desolation,
A testament to true love’s pure dedication

You rallied my spirit when darkness held sway,
And lit up the pathways, dispelling my gray 
Your laughter rang out, a bell clear and sweet,
A melody woven caused my struggle’s retreat

When silence encroached, when despair filled the air,
Your voice was a beacon, a direction I now swear
You dismantled the walls that I’d built with my fears,
transforming my burdens to rivers of dry tears

Do you know that you saved yours truly?
In moments when life felt so cruel and unruly

You championed my cause with relentless zest,
unraveling pain, you bring forth my life's best—
with each brave encounter, you foster my soul,
restoring my hope, making me feel whole

Though storms may have roared, and shadows may fall,
you stood as my fortress, my guiding call 
Every battle you fought was not done so in vain,
you lifted me high above sorrow and endless pain

In the fabric woven with threads of our fate,
you stitched every moment, refusing to wait
for the warmth of your heart, to spark in me a flame,
resilience ignited, and forever only for you, I blossomed again

Do you know that you saved yours truly?
You're a guardian’s spirit that shaped us duly
You painted my world with colors so bold,
through each act of kindness, our story's retold

Within the hugs of your selfless embrace,
I found in your courage my rightful place
With each passing day, I cherish your grace,
for you have transformed this once-hidden space. 

Do you know that you saved yours truly? 
In gratitude deep, I’ll honor you duly
Forever I’ll carry the light that you brought to me,
in the dance of existence, the battles we fought duly...

So here is my promise, a vow sincere,
to honor your spirit with our every new year!
In kindness, I'll walk, in strength, I’ll abide,
with love as my armor, and you by my side!

Do you know that you saved yours truly? 
A journey rewoven, bravely and fully!

Thank you Paige! It is incomprehensible, how happy someone can make you feel, just through understanding and support. Until it actually happens to you. It is my personal wish that everyone experiences that level of contentment. I've had the benefit of feeling it for years. But it would be worth it. To only feel it for a moment. I try my best to give it back to as many others as I can. In being human I don't always get it right. When I do, though it feels exactly the way it felt to write this poem! A.S.

Nice tribute to a friend, lover or some other selfless benefactor. A Proverb says a true friend is sticking closer than a brother. This can be true for many. Hey, you spent some time on this bad boy

Thank you Tom! JOB 1:21 Love is the one thing that we all possess. No matter what, no matter where and no matter when. Choosing to accept it and giving it....Is freedom. Nothing and no one can take it away from you. Finest regards A.S.

The best thing about "love" is there it still is. It never grows old, or tired, or sick, and it never really dies. If it becomes lost it can always be found again. It infinitely compliments time so very well! Hugs across the world to you my poetic sister :) A.S.

Thank you Beryl! Finding love is never a solo mission. Feeling loved is the best outcome of fighting beside someone else for it! Warmly A.S.
