Alone I came,

or so I thought

Alone I walked

and so I fought

Until you brought

me back to where

I stood, astounded –

and, suddenly aware,

flew, yet still so grounded,

found you standing there:

an Angel who

with words, profound,

reached down when few

had stood their ground;

lifted me up

above the crowd.
