A Life Saved
I have life,
When I once wanted to die,
I held a knife,
When on the floor I would lie.
You came and let me talk,
You showed me you care,
And today I continue to walk,
Because you were there.
The life I know,
Now has laughter and cheer,
When I was ready to let it go,
For me you are here.
I once held a knife,
There I Had been,
Ready to end my life,
A gift I chose not to take.

Now has laughter and cheer,
When I was ready to let it go,
For me you are here.

Ready to end my life,
A gift I chose not to take.
