Thank You

My hands grip the bar,

As I gaze over the side.

One slip of my hand,

One false move of my foot,

And I would plummet down below,

And my life would end.

So would my worries,

And everything else.

So I let my hand slip,

And I let my foot move,

And I start to plummet

To the waters below,

But a hand reaches out,

And lifts me back up.

I come face to face

With the one who cared enough,

To say,

"You mean a lot to me,

Please don't end your life.

If you do, you'll end mine too."

And you climbed on over,

To the other side of the railing,

And you stood next to me,

Your hand in mine.

I knew now that someone cared enough.

I knew it'd be wrong,

If I took my life,

So I pulled you into a hug,

And thanked you for saving it.
