My Guardian Angel

From the moment I set eyes on you
I knew that you would change me
You set me free 
In ways that I could have never believed

You saw right through me 
Saw my strengths and weakness
I couldn't have made it here without you
You took me away from the bleakness

There's beauty in your presence
From your curiosity to your smile
You allow me to open up
Keeping me same for a little while

There are few people that know me well enough
To cheer me up and make me feel better
You always know exactly what to say and do
And you stole my heart in the old black sweater

Now I see you everywhere I go
Can't get you off my mind
Even though you aren't here
My heart puts our memories on rewind

I'm extremely lucky to have found you
Or maybe you sought me out
Whatever the case may be
You saved my life, without a doubt

To know that I have met my guardian angel
Is something I couldn't have imagined
And you taught me how to live
A life that I would've abandoned

Kyle, Congratulations on your win. I'm finally making time to read every entry, intended for me in Shadow's Hamilton depression contest. It was a tough fight, however at the end I prayed, and asked to take over and he did. WOW, it was what I call a miracle. Thanks for lifting my day with this poem... Love LINDA
