Thank You

In a little corner of my heart I hold Sounds and sights that I behold Stories and tales I have never told Fond memories I will have when I grow old In my memories I see a face So beautiful and charming, so full of grace A face that changed my life in its entirety A face I may never ever see My memories are of an autumn glow Of a palace, a garden, where time tends to slow Where a church bell tolled and in prayer I knelt Where the loving touch of an angel I felt I was tired and dreary and full of sorrow I had nothing to give, no love to borrow My heart ached as punishment of my sin My life had ended before it could begin The angel dared me to dream anew To mend my life’s torn muscles and sinew To find love and share it with one and all Not to lose heart and stand up if I fall Since then I have learnt to live Learnt to be happy and not to grieve Learnt that a day always follows the night Learnt that survive, I just might My thoughts always go back to you Oh Angel! What would I be without you? All my happiness is a tribute to you So let me just say, Thank you
