(written 6/08)
I’m looking for a miracle
I’d love it bold and brash
To cure me of all aches and pains
And restore me to my prime
I know my hopes and dreams for a future free from pain
Are just a whisper in the wind
This disease that racks my bones and joints has settled in for good
It’s taken possession of my body and refuses to let go
I take so many medicines every morning and each night
They hold this horrid disease at bay
But cause damage of their own
I pray that not only can I endure this pain, but that I can do it with a smile
I need to keep my focus on the good things all around
Then when the aches and pains come, they won’t seem so bad
I may not get my miracle while I’m living here on earth
But of one thing I am certain
My miracle awaits when my Lord takes me home to Him
In heaven no more tears will I shed
All the aches and pains will be a thing of the past
But as for now,
I’m looking for a miracle
I’d love it bold and brash
