She knew that she was being followed
She could tell by the whispers in the wind
That uncanny feeling she was being watched
Was something she couldn’t possibly rescind
Sarah was going home from a friend’s house
At ten thirty the streets were just barely lit
Dark shadows were foreboding all around her
A wind was blowing, the rustling wouldn’t quit
The first inkling that she might be in trouble
Were the footsteps she could barely hear
When she stopped to listen, they did the same
Her first reaction was to cry out in fear
“Who’s there?” she cried, “What do you want?”
In return, she could hear the footsteps begin
Picking up the pace, she saw a street light ahead
Ran for it, looked back where she had been
A dark figure emerged from behind a tree
And began to slowly stalk, come her way
Only one thought then crossed Sarah’s mind
“Am I going to die or get raped today?”
She cringed as he came into her sight
He began to giggle as he drew ever near
She was so terrified she couldn’t move
Cowering, she trembled, then burst into tears
In moments he was towering over here
Reaching down for her, he laughed out loud
In an instant, something miraculously happened
A figure appeared, descending from a cloud
With a mighty hand, it grabbed her assailant
Picked him up and violently hurled him away
From the ground, the man looked and panicked
Then got to his feet, much to his dismay
The figure glared at him and then hit him
The man crumpled and laid at his feet
The man would remember this night forever
How an angel he did so drastically meet
The angel turned to Sarah, nodded, and smiled
And then he disappeared before her eyes
The rest of her way home was uneventful
Her rescue, she didn’t believe was a surprise
She knew that she had a guardian angel
Had been assigned one when she got saved
Tonight she got to see him in action
In her mind, it would always be engraved
