Angel

I once felt empty

and alone

Without purpose or hope,

lost and forlorn

It felt like everything

had been taken from me,

and it seemed that happiness

was just a dream

But then I felt

another's grasp;

warmth and strength

in a loving clasp

God didn't leave me

out in the cold:

He sent an angel

to save my soul

Now my purpose,

I can finally see,

is to do for others

what was done for me
