"My life will be over with soon... my pain will be gone", I say
as I dream about committing suicide, the very next day.

As I dream, I look upon the ledge and contemplate my leap
it's so far down... so long... so deep....

I find myself asking, "...is it worth dying?"
I see myself hurt... I see myself crying....

I cry out aloud, begging for help...
But no one answers, and everything is dark...

Out of the blackness of the depths, an angel appears!
So kind and gentle, to share my tears, and put aside my fears...

It is a Dolphin... so sleek and strong...
A symbol of hope... that all is not gone...

He pulls me from the emotional quagmire in which I lie...
He holds me close... and looks me in the eye...

My soul is pierced... My problems fade...
"This is where healing takes place", he says... "Do not be afraid..."

Fin in hand, he guides me back to my bed...
I look down upon myself and reality.... and I dread...

"Fear not" I hear the shimmering Dolphin squeak...
"For I will always be there for you... even when times seem bleak..."

As I lie down, things feel anew...
He swims in close and says, "You will be alright... I believe in you..."

He leaps around me in joyful happiness...
For I had chosen to live... and was no longer in sadness...

As the Dolphin hovers above me, he makes one final call:
"Remember... Healing takes time... time heals all."

My eyes begin to close as I see him fade away...
It will soon be a new day...
But I know that he will live forever in my dreams to play!
