There she stood
She stood there, in the midnight air
The moon beams shining in her hair
They walked and hand in hand
She talked and sometimes they would stand
The lines on her face disappeared
As she talked about her hopes and fears
He held her tight and very tender
Her shape looked so slender
He held her safe and sound
As her life became outward bound
She let him know her better
Her worries started to unfetter
The years fell away from her face
Young lines her face did grace
She was held as she slept
A new life to her crept
The stress and fears were gone
For now her life was a new song
She was happier and did smile
Because a friend went that extra mile
