A treasured memory ... returns to remind when once was witnessed ... destiny's design In a whispered prayer ... a plea for a moment in time like a promise kept ... was then given a visions sign. An antique ornament ... a blessed Christmas tree all questions answered ... this was meant to be God shined in that moment ... a guiding light for us to see and I felt you then ... like I still feel you now in the depths of me. A leap of faith ... His words of wisdom to receive a message of forgiveness ... to grant a tired heart reprieve A love so pure ... a soul will heal once it trusts then conceives I have held this love ... and in Him and you and us ... I believe. Janet Marie for DeVante'... with my love always ... for showing me Miracles do happen, and for giving me the gift of my muse back. Merry Christmas to all my treasured friends and fellow poets ... may you know all the many blessings of this season. I am blessed and grateful for the gifts of this special place and all of you. Love to all in Poetry Land JM ********* ~Miracle~ by Vertical Horizon from the CD: Everything You Want It's taken much too long To get it right Would it be so wrong To maybe find someone A miracle And all you really need Is everything you could never be And so you'd give it all For a miracle Chorus: Is there a trace Inside her face Of a lonely miracle And so you wait And lie awake For a lonely miracle ***You never really know What it is Not until it goes And if it comes again It's a miracle*** But what you miss is love In everything below and up above And could she bring it all A miracle Chorus All you wanted was a miracle All you needed was a miracle A miracle And all you wanted was a miracle All you needed was a miracle A miracle It's taken so long to get it right Could it be so wrong To maybe find someone A miracle Some people find subtlety in strangers if you find anything~let me in Your eyes~you see everything my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 12-25-2000).] |

Let us free you from the pain Let us see you smile again Let us unlock all the chains You're broken-hearted Let us help you to forget Let us help you unlock it It's not nearly time to quit You've only started You gotta Sit down funny face Let your laughter fill the room Light up your golden smile Take away all my misery and gloom Let your laughter fill the room Let your laughter fill the room Let us shake you by the hand Let us help you understand Take your head out of the sand And shake it free now Let us help you to go go We are here to lean upon Now you know exactly who You want to be now You gotta Let us lift you up on high See the twinkle in your eye Raise your head up to the sky And say it's easy Hey let the trunpets ring it Let the angels sing it Let your pretty feet go dancing Let your worn out mind go prancing And Let us lift you up on high See the twinkle in your eye Raise your head up to the sky And say it's easy. I think he was singing to the future to places like this where we could discover a beautiful poet princess like you that could write from the heart and inspire us all. This poem is an excellent example of that gift from above.......have yourself a wonderful holiday season and I send you my love dear poet friend.......etVANhome |
