Today the sun isn't shining
Rain has come to say
hello
But deep inside a
smile lies
For the memories I
can't let go
The memories of yesterday
A morning walk in
the sun
The cutting of a
lawn
Before my day was
done
I sat outside and crocheted
On an afghan for my
daughter
And when it was time
to come in
I simply wanted to
hoop and holler
You see for many months
A dream lie deep
within
It was not a dream
for wealth
But the dream to
simply walk again
Many times I prayed
For this little dream to come true
And many friends
were praying
For this little
miracle too
Now that it has happened
I know I must go
slow
But try to tell that
to two feet
That have so many
places they want to go
So today through the rain
My thoughts are of
yesterday
And I know when the
sun comes back
I will try to make
progress once again
I thank the Lord for today
I thanked Him even
more for yesterday
For once again He
has proven
Dreams don't always
just slip away
Sometimes it takes a little help
From someone who
truly cares
And no matter what
happens tomorrow
This new doctor said
he would be there
To help me turn the
little steps
Into even far
greater ones
But I know it would
not be possible
If I had let faith
fade before help had come
It's so easy to always question "Why"
It's so much harder
to comprehend
Why things happen in
our lives
But I have
learnt it is all predestined
On the day that I was born
God sets me on my
journey
But while in my
mother's womb
He had already
written my life's story
Each day I
fulfill a chapter
In my journey down
life's path
Each is a day to be
cherished
For God doesn't
create trash
So no matter if you don't have
What others around
you do
It doesn't really
matter
As long as to Him
and yourself you're true
Here today through the rain
I look out at the world
Through a window that has allowed me
to see
You don't have to be Superman to feel
like a hero!
