Wars may rage.

Times will change.

A breaking point my body will soon discover.

Yet through trial and tribute I will remain true.

For beside me walks an angel.

She gives me strength when I am weak.

In times of doubt, she is my courage.

When the world starts to crumble around me,

In her arms I can always find shelter.

But through it all, one wish escapes my grasp.

To take away the pain I see inside your eyes.

Your smile, so radiant and pure, may hide it from others.

Dearest girl, let down your guard.

Lay your head upon my chest,

Let my heartbeat drown out the doubts your own mind screams in your ear.

The serenity you bring to this world once dark and clouded with pain,

May I bestow just a glimmer of the same light in to your own world now.

For you I would walk through fire.

Never bat an eye at whatever it is you could ever ask.

I fear I will never have the capacity to show you what it is I feel.

To portray my gratitude for blessing a poor fool with a second chance.

Saved I was.

Blessed I have been.

Gracious I will always be.

I will forever hold you in my heart and soul as each moment ticks by.

For what little it may be worth.

I love you.
