Saved By Wings

I lied in my bed, awaiting an angel to take me far away
It happened; I finally lost everything I held dear to me
The rose of love died and wilted away in my frail hands
I had given up on a future that I could see being happy

Until a small dove, so carefree and pure came before me
Kind and warm-hearted, I found someone to call a compantion
He taught me to be myself and let me smile once again
I thanked him and I learned once again what trust was

The angel I know evolved from the kind little dove I met
He is someone I hold so close to me and I know is pure
I was reborn once I learned of the feelings I felt for him
He did not laugh or taunt me, but he smiled in acceptance

Yin and Yang are the way my past and present are seen now
One dark and horrid while the other is filled with light
I was so alone, feeling betrayed and unknown to anyone
But now I am content and cared for once again; thank you

My angel.

Dedicated to someone who saved me from a darker time in life.
