As we knelt to pray with the priest,
he knowing thereof nothing,
I prayed that he would stay longer,
for I felt safe.
He left, and it all began again,
yet in my heart those prayers made me strong.
Strength from above kept me alive
when all else failed.
Through the years I had to survive,
Christ my only Savior.
I never asked him why, his
angels protected me.
Today is another day, a day full of
triumphs and sometimes tears.
My life though, I owe to Him,
for He kept me safe.
When darkness falls over you,
know that He is there,
to guide and protect you,
for his future plan.
