The connection that we've made is only the start
    Of something that is needed by your heart.
You've been hurt by one before
    Now it's my turn to open the door

I came to you out of the blue
    Like some angel answering a prayer by you.
Now I am here answering your call
    To show you that life can be good after all.

Let me be your armor to fight the demons
    It can be harder than it seems
Let me guide you through the forest
  away from the thieves
    So that there is no worry
      and your mind can be at ease.

I can give you what you need,
    But in word only and not in deed
For my purpose in your life is to show you the way
    Until another comes along to brighten your day

I will be gentle with you and you heart,
    Because I know what it's like. . .this part
And any time that you need to share
    Just think of me. . .and I'll be there.

I will be with you in mind and spirit
    And when the darkness comes, you need not fear it
For I will be by your side every day and every night
    Until your wings are healed and
      your heart can take flight.


 That which gives light must endure burning
--Victor Frankl
