I was in a downward spiral circling the drain My life was a constant battle with perpetual pain The prognosis was not good, in fact it was grim My world was upside down, the lights were growing dim It felt as if my soul was mired in a bog When there she was. aΒ Β beacon shining through the fog She appeared to me in a lucid dream And helped me recover all my self esteem She gave me one of the greatest blessings of all -HOPE And gave me a reason to live and a formula to cope How do you thank someone who has given you a gift so precious She brought me into the light from the brink of darkness She has absolutely no idea what she means to me She is truly an angel and has set my spirit free.
