Along Came You


Back then, some 15 years ago was when,
I didn't realize it, but God knew
that I needed a friend.
And then, along came you.

The light was heavily blocked
by the moon of my stubbornness.
Dwelling in the shadows and inspired
by the spirit of restlessness,
I stood by a cave, not far
from the pit of despair.
And then, along came you.

The environment was isolated
and filled with polluted air.
And then, along came you.

At a time when I had drifted
off the beaten path, nearly lost
and feeling all alone; in a season when
I wasn't very strong; when my life was 
no longer a happy song but more like a
complicated puzzle or a game of ping pong.
And then, along came you.

With friendship fresh and pure
as the morning dew, along came you.

So, my friend, that is why, from the depths
of my renewed heart, I say, "Thank you".
