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 |
||||
|
|

The author was inspired to write ‘Poor Poppy and the Chocolate Man’ to help bring to the attention of all parents the realization that their children can become victims of a pedophile. At the same time she wishes to give the reader an insight into behind the scenes of the unknowing families, the law enforcement’s detectives’ efforts to help stamp out these ever increasing everyday heinous acts of behavior and the recognition for the introduction of harsher sentences. The author also wishes to state that whilst the Australian Government has apologised to the stolen generation it is her heartfelt wish that through the pages of ‘Poor Poppy and the Chocolate Man’ a sincere apology will reach all of the children who have become victims of a pedophile.
