On a lonely road, in this dark night
I walk as slowly as one might
Moving along, I walked on and on
The happiness in my life was long gone.

I come to top of the bridge
Carelessly moving towards the edge
But a little hand stopped my fall
I turned to see who stopped me after all.

Small and angelic face of a small boy
He let go of my hand and held on to a toy
"Are you sad?" the little, pure soul inquired
His eyes held me there, to look away I tried.

A strange glow around him, was bright as a day
'Keep courage and have hope' his eyes seemed to say
I looked beyond the edge, to the river down there
And turned back to answer him but he just wasn't there.

I turned around and looked about but he was nowhere
He just seemed to have vanished into thin air
He had come and gone away, all on his own
And then again he was gone, leaving me alone.

I crane my neck and look up at the high sky so far
And I see a little but a bright shining star
The little kid had come to me I think for a cause
For now I know a 'God sent angel' he was.
