I AM A MIRACLE

by

Rose C Taylor (1973)

And what am I

I am a Man

Born of the womb, to live my span

To pace and step and dream and plan

To sweat and toil and lend a hand

To seek and find and know and learn

To laugh and cry and love and yearn

To rise and fall and wince with pain

To reach the top and fall again

And as I do I know somewhere

That there is one who'll share my fear

And as I reach and take his hand 

I come to know and understand

I am a Miracle - That's what I am

For who but Man can reach the moon

Explore the stars - compose a tune

Capture the mood of a setting sun

Give thanks to God when day is done

This much I know and I can tell

That through the years Time's taught me well

It's made me weak - it's made me strong

It's proved me right and found me wrong

It's showed me Heaven and offered me Hell

It's made me rage and scream and yell

Yes I've played Life's game as best as I can

But through it all I never ran

For win or lose I knew somehow

That He'd be there to soothe my brow

And as I reached and took His hand 

I came to know and understand

I am a Miracle - That's what I am
