Alone, depressed, anxiety high,
I started to picture ways I could die.
The feelings of total, utter despair,
With a heart so broken, beyond all repair.
Whatever could take me away from this place?
Would anyone miss the sight of my face?
I went for a stroll down by the water,
when I met an old man and his beautiful daughter.
His name was Max, hers Pauline.
The most beautiful woman I ever have seen.
“You seem quite happy to be at this place”
Max remarked of the smile on my face.
Pauline had beautiful long auburn hair,
When she spoke, it was with compassion and care.
The three of us walked by the river that day,
I found my bad feelings flying away.
I fell for her there in the beat of a heart
That chance river meeting was only the start.
In years to come she became my wife.
That auburn beauty who saved my life.
