Saved...

I was saved today...
I was almost gone.
There would have been no "me" to say hi to,
To "me" to hug or hold...
I was saved today,
Not from a speeding truck,
Not from drowning,
Not from choking
Not from an injury...
I was saved today...
From myself...
My Cousin...
She saved me...
She called...
The next day,
She made a special trip
Just for me...
Just to see me...
To love me
To hold me
To watch me as I cry
To join in the sobbing
To wipe away my tears
To wrap up my wounds,
To heal me...
To save me...
I was saved yesterday...
By my cousin...
From myself.
She gave me something to remember
That her love is always there
Always with me
Forever and Always
She gave me a button.
No, its not much...
But that little orange button
On that chain...
That she had put around my neck...
That button...
That said
"Forever and Always
I love you"
With a heart in the middle.
In the very middle of that little orange button...
One little thing
One little kiss on the cheek
One little hug
One little cry
One
Little
Girl...
My cousin...
Saved me...
