Little Did I Know
An ill wind September brought
With a drizzle I did not savor,
My boot on the sidewalk caught
When luck did me no favor.
While dashing home, it was my belief
Foolishly and on a whim,
I dodged every slippery leaf
When with them I would swim.
I sat there, embarassed as can be
Wondering, what could be worse?,
Caressing my scraped knee,
Collecting my spilled purse.
A voice came from the skies
And asked if I could stand,
Above me stood his azure eyes
Outstretched was a helping hand.
The coldness was not subtle
And neither was the pain,
He pulled me from the puddle
And I did not mind the rain.
Little did I know that day
Just how a life can change,
How love can be born to stay
From a situation so strange.
Underneath the streetlights' glow
Kindness led me down the lane,
And how little did I know
That I could fall for the rain.
