Drowning

I saw you
in the deep waters
of life
going down
for the third time
I, your knight
with all his armor
dived in to save you
pushed you clear and
soon was drowning
treading water
faithfully
in your service
and you came
to me
and
removed
the cold steel
that was rusting
in the open waters of life
whispered in my ear
"come hither
swim, dear, swim!"

That was beautiful, not to mention very true. Life often gets difficult and we need people to keep us from becoming to overwhelmed. :)
