I lifted my face to the sky,
eyes shut and rain running
down my face like tears
that I only wished I could cry.
I stretched out my arms,
palms upturned to welcome rain,
and adding to my silent supplication-
my unuttered prayer for a miracle.
Dreams, like glass, lay shattered
at my feet and hope...
I had forgotten what hope was

but you, you are my miracle,
you are heaven’s answer to my prayers.
You wiped the rain from my face
and gave strength to my feeble hands
as I worked to rebuild my dreams.
You taught me hope, and all I have,
all I can offer you, is love...

I lift my face to the sky,
eyes shut, arms outstretched,
palms turned up toward the sun
as I whisper a prayer for a miracle...
that I could somehow be worthy
of you.


(I love you hon... )

Awww, nuts. I thought it was to you-know-who. *winkwink nudgenudge*

Beautiful, though. ^^ I still say you're better than I...especially with work like this!

Absolutely excellent. I would have voted for it!

Mara - It isn't, so there. Thank you, and I still disagree. Every time you say that I just have to point to She Stands Waiting and I win the arguement. hehe

Skyfire -

Thank you all very much for reading and replying. I'm honoured by your replies.

A poem of such beauty and love, most assuredly was inspired, and written by, a person of such beauty and love.

Love & Light,
