Vernon-September 3 2004
By: Vernon Lipsey
There are miracles all around us
Most so small we don't make a fuss
Some are big and have a big impact
Others keep our lives intact that is a fact
Some guide us from evil and show us the way
Others influence us and keep our ease at bay
Miracles keep us going from day to day
Weather finding courage to speak or finding something to say
Some miracles save our lives others keep us going
when someone dies
Some are large some small, it doesn't matter the size
They are with everybody, those who laugh and cries
What defines a miracle, it's up to you
Don't rely on them, there is only a few
They may be in a face of a child, or sometimes money
Or even when your down, it may be something funny
Miracles help us in trouble and in dispear
They can fix your life when it's beyong repair
They help you when things are too much to bear
They allow blind men to see
And allow bound men to be free
They have helped everyone at a time or another
even you and me
Miracles come from up above
From the place, which holds the Dove
They are with you always
Even when push comes to shove......................................

SON MY LOVE FOR YOU IS.......
\\
Dear Mom again I'm writing
to express my love to you
I know you feel such sorrow
I see you are still blue
The tears you shed seem endless
I've watched you from above
Remember I am with you
We will always have our love
One day we'll be together
It's not your time to leave
Your life should have some laughter
You are not there just to grieve
Share your love with others
give them what you can
I know you are amazing
I am your biggest fan
When your work on earth is over
I promise to be there
I'll take your hand and guide you
as we climb those golden stairs
Until that time I need for you
To wipe and dry your tears
Remember my sweet mother
I am always very near
