He grapples now with all that life has thrown
Since days have passed, and he is now alone
Though bright moments come, the shadows still fall
And sometimes he feels there’s no hope at all
Some days he wanders, lost in quiet despair
The weight of sorrow more than he can bear
But then, a smile may slowly grace his face
A fleeting joy that warms the empty space
He knows he’s pushed away those he once needs
Through selfish acts, by anger or by greed
He’s shocked to find that some have chosen to stay
Despite the hurt and pain along the way
Yet in the darkness, hope begins to rise
A gentle light cuts through the clouded skies
An angel’s vision lifts him with pure grace
And helps him find his peace within this space
Her eyes, like stars, illuminate his night
A beacon strong, yet soft with gentle light
And her voice, breath-taking, both calm and sweet
A solace found in every heartbeat’s beat
He dreams of brighter days that start to form
Where joy and love become his steady norm
A life where each breath brings delight anew
And fills his soul with wonder, pure and true
So now he looks ahead with heart renewed
And prays this happiness will long ensue
May this sweet angel’s presence always stay
And bless him with its light through every day
