He stood upon the rail
Eyeing death below
The weather was getting frosty
It had began to snow
He thought about his empty life
Ever since she died
He pretended he was all right
To everyone he lied
He couldn't take the pain he felt
To be apart from her
This was the only option
His sight began to blur
She has been watching over him
Since the time she passed
She saw his highs and his lows
And knew he would not last
She would have to change his mind
And try to make him see
That the only way they'd be together
Right now would be in memory
He threw his arms out to the sides
And looked up at the sky
He steeled himself to take that jump
He truly wanted to die
But as he tensed to start that tumble
He felt a subtle touch
An old familiarity
That used to mean so much
She pushed her hands against his chest
And steadied him just so
Then she whispered in his ear
Now is not the time to go
As he stood there panting
He heard her sweet soft voice
And struggled against the resistance
Death being his only choice
She brushed a lock of his ebony hair
Away from his tearing eye
And said it will not work this way
You know that, so do I
There so many things you have to be
It is not your time yet
Promise me just one little thing
Please just never forget
He said I know I trust you
But are you really sure
She whispered yes into his ear
And kissed him as she had before
She helped him from his perilous perch
And sent him on his way
He staggered numbly to his car
And he began to pray
Dear God please take care of her
She's such a joy to know
I'll be up to see her
When it is my time to go
Wait for me my love
Our love will never die
Soon we'll be together
And in heaven we will fly
And within Hell Satan stamped his feet
And had a full blown fit
For suicide sends you down there
With just a one way ticket
She knew that and told him so
That's why his death was halted
He'll have to wait until his time
And then he'll be exalted
Gold trophy winner
