Lost Angeles

I was a soldier fallen from grace
Angels surround me saving my face 
Lonely and scattered struggling to find
A place I could trust to share my mind. 

I found the soup 
Then it found me 
We began a journey 
That set my heart free

A comment here, a contest winner
I could spill my words without feeling a sinner
A second home that took me away 
From any dirt that came my way. 

I found the soup 
Then it found me 
We began a love 
That set my heart free

As time rolled on 
I judged others writing
Loving the way 
I could feel people fighting 

To earn first place in the contests I ran
Made me feel useful
Body starting to mend 

The chemistry was right 
When I wrote through the night 
The soup saved me soul 
As a soldier I fight 

I was a soldier falling from grace
Then I met soup and I'm back in the race.
