I sat there on the waters edge and prayed to God I will make it home.
I felt this sunken feeling in the pit of my stomache that I was not alone.
A voice appeared, right before my eyes.
It was my guiding angel, I heard her angelic cries.
She told me not to be afraid because help is on it's way.
I felt this cold chill across my back, I knew in that moment I would be okay.
I fell asleep for just a little while.
I saw before me, me as a child.
My younger self was telling me not to give up.
At that moment I opened my eyes, ahead of me there must be love.
I kept swimming until I saw a man in his boat up ahead.
I screamed and through my arms up in the air, then I remembered what my guiding angel had said.
The man had helped me into his boat and wrapped a warm blanket around me.
I couldn't stop thanking him, and he laughed, with glee.
That night I could have died.
I had grew a spiritual side.
I never felt so much gratitude like I did that night.
That night I saw the light.
