An Angel Beside Him
By
tonyal
An angel rode beside him
This we believe was true
What else could have saved him
A crash only survived by few
The doe just wanted to eat
He held tight to the wheel
As it ran across the street
The brakes let out a squeal
The truck began to spin
He's only seventeen
Life has yet to begin
Nowhere has he been
He finally comes to a halt
Wrapped around a tree
Nothing was at fault
How could anything be
A voice came through
Crying into my ear
Mom, I need you
It's all I needed to hear
An angel riding with him
As you can plainly see
This could've been so grim
But he was able to flee
An angel in that truck
Kept my boy for me
This wasn't just luck
An angel was the key
A bruise and scrape
He was in a cocoon
How could he escape
Just know I love you Boone
