Once, when traveling on an airplane flight

I sat next to a young girl who was so polite

She seemed quite distressed as our flight had been delayed

Her connection would be tight, which was just not well played

She didn't know the airport or location of the gate

I said I would help her so that she would not be late

My decision was to guide her, to get her to her plane

Yes, at times, I do things that are really quite insane

I ran up behind her and spoke my words with glee

"To get you to your gate on time, just follow me!"

So, off we went a running, through the terminal so fast

I said, "Use the ramp, we will have to move on past."

"On the left!" I shouted and it was really loud

I wanted to move quickly through the very slow crowd

"Keep going, keep moving, I see the way ahead"

"Your gate is at the end," on the display I just read

"I think you will make it. It is right over there!"

"Good luck to you, safe travels, I hope you take good care!"

She turned to me and waved as she smiled and said goodbye

"You are my airport angel. You helped to make me fly."

It is a fun memory, and the outcome as I’ve told

For me to help a stranger, in my heart it turns pure gold
