My Savior
by Alena C, Richmond Hill, Canada, Age 17

To visualize a world with no violence is courageous;
Wishing it vanished into thin air.
To wish that anger disappeared is outrageous;
Soothing yourself every moment you sense its stare.

To desire for someone to fight off the conflicts;
Battling them until they are scared.
To dream that somebody will break through the bricks;
Standing upright prepared.

To wish and to dream is not needed;
Because the solution to my problems is already there.
When lost and confused, and feel unneeded;
All I have to do is look and be aware.

You are the angel with the guiding wings;
The light at the end of the tunnel.
Though we have troubles with many things
I don’t mean to hurt you.

My fears and evils all seem to disappear,
Like a flash of lighting during a storm.
This only happens when you are near;
This is a sign that you are my savior.

Happy Birthday my sweetest angel;
May your world be filled with amusement and gold.
I hope that your day will go by swell,
And that our relationship will forever hold.

Live every moment to the fullest;
Show off your style and beautiful face.
May you know that you are the best;
And I hope life will go by at a slower pace.
