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

< !signature-->

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

Take back the hope you gave,- I claim

JM,
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.

Very nice and you have and do and believe.

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

Janet Marie,
the miracle is, that you can sing
through your pain and suffering
show the victory beyond the veil
make death's shadow, cast not pale
show your courage every day
give us hope, so we may pray
send us strength, though all your write
show us how to still the night
the miracle, my Janet dear
is in your write, we find joy here.
