It was a dark and gloomy winter, overcast and tinged with grey.
Bitter winds cut at my frostbitten fingers on every given day.
Each day was spent in the lonely cold, with no sign of shelter in sight.
I wondered why God had left me to suffer this winter’s wicked blight.

It was almost as though I had been left to suffer in the frozen lakes of hell.
There was no escape; my eyes glazed over as they did prickle and swell.
At the end of each day, the sun would fade as though it was time to for it die.
My skin hardened like stone tinged blue; in the pale snow I did lie.

With shallow breaths, I breathed in and out as time had its way with me.
Entombed beneath a bed of snow and ice, I found I had not the strength to break free.
Trapped alone with my thoughts and myself, I found no escape to be found
In misery, I felt I would die here alone as I listened to my heart slowly pound. 

Time went by where my spirit did flag, but God had been kind to me.
He sent me an angel in the form of a man that was all I needed him to be.
Out on a leisurely stroll, passing by, he saw me and set me free.
It was a casual kindness he easily shared; he saw my suffering and heard my plea.

And just like that, grey clouds went away, and bitter winds were dispelled.
Winter storms that destroyed all in their way were silenced and were quelled.
Rays of sunlight poured in streams through the sky, bright and golden as he.
It is because of him that light can be found in the ending to this story.

Through him, these eyes twinkled and shined with the brightest of lights. 
I knew what it was to have been freed from cruelty’s blight.
Where golden skies do shine, I have lived to know smiles and mirth.
It is a grace to know benevolence from a tender soul full of worth.

He brought with him magic and radiance, bringing light to this dark day.
He brought comfort and reassurance, taking away all of my dismay.
The benevolence he shares is angelic in nature, and equal in parity.
He saved my spirit and my soul with his simple act of sincerity.
