For Phoebe Poem by Angela Wybrow

Those words you wrote; those words I read,
Are stored very safely inside my head;
They only took you moments to write,
But, into the darkness, they injected some light.

As I lay awake in my bed next door,
About everything, I was feeling unsure;
But then your words, thoughtful and kind,
Exploded like fireworks into my mind.

Inside my mind, your words whizzed around,
And lifted me up when I felt so down;
You wouldn't believe the comfort they brought -
Your words of encouragement and positive thought.

I doubt you considered the consequence,
But their effect on me was pretty immense.
I'd like to thank you for the comment you wrote,
And, when I was drowning, for keeping me afloat.
