Walked In Sad Valley, Thinking I Was Alone

Walked in sad valley, thinking I was alone
Each step a blister, I had so much to atone
Rounded a corner, there sat an angel smiling
There was no fear, for she was far too beguiling
I begged her to speak divine words to save me
Relieve epic pain, force sorrow to let me be
She laughed, pointed towards a majestic blue hill
Go feed thy desperate hunger and eat thy fill
Went to the top, found a banquet laid out in rows
Why I ever came down again nobody knows

Down again, I asked her, where do I go from here
She smiled and told me, correct path will soon appear
In a flash, I was through fluffy white clouds flying
My safe passage, on her good graces relying

Walked in sad valley, thinking I was alone
Each step a blister, I had so much to atone
Rounded a corner, there sat an angel smiling
There was no fear, for she was far too beguiling
