Midnight Journey
Twelve O'clock midnight
the road was long and dark
I saw a woman walking
and threw my car in park
I was pressed for time
as two people did await
Truck broke down miles ahead
beside the interstate
The woman, happy I had stopped,
was five months with child
Her hubby turned her out to walk
like an animal in the wild
On my journey she would have gone
and I'd take her home from there
But the pains struck in her womb
and that thought I couldn't bare
To lie down and get some rest
was all she cared to do
So I turned around and started back
the extra miles were few
We talked all along the way
as on her cell she tried to call
Those crazy things are worthless
when you need them most of all
I told her not to worry
I would drive her all the way
To let her out just anywhere
...I wouldn't sleep another day
She kept calling me an angel
as she laid her hand on mine
She worried more about those in wait
but I told her all was fine
I pulled into the driveway
and she thanked me once again
Gave me the biggest hug
and I couldn't help but grin
I felt so good inside
knowing she was safe and warm
I'll never forget my stranger friend
and wish her free from harm
