Over the years, we've had our ups and downs,
More downs than ups sometimes it seemed,
And all the time I kept telling myself,
"Hold on tight to your dream",

Sometimes, when things were bad,
And I was so lonely, and sad,
I almost let go once or twice,
But my  stubborness got in the way,
And im so glad that it did, to this day,

The years rolled slowly by,
I kept asking myself why,
Why things were happening,
Why did'nt they change,
I did everything in my power,
But sometimes things were worse, even by the hour,

'The kids all grew up, married, and moved away,
Then I thought, now we'll have our day.

Can you imagine my dismay,
When things kept going on,
In the same way,
A few more years of suffering,
Was to be my lot,
Until I decided to get out of the plot.

Backing into a wall, I stood myself tall,
And one step forward, I did take,
Nothing on earth would make me look back,
I came out, in full attack.

Some people did not like the change,
But nothing they did or said, would make me re-arrange.

I stuck to my guns, and became me,
And over time, descovered that I was happy.

Little by little I watched you change also,
I refer to that as "My Miracle",
And, there is something I would like you to know,

All through the years, when things were bad,
I kept remembering what we had had,
I wished in silence, I wished out loud,
For someone to lift our blackened cloud.

My wish was granted, I know not by who,
And there you were, my beloved old you.

The love, and needing each other, returned,
All the things for which I had yearned.

Four years have passed, and still the same,
We laugh, cry, be sad, be happy, worry,and share together,
No longer do we fingerpoint the blame.

I believe in Miricales, Oh yes I do,
For it must have been one, that gave me back to you.

I LOVE YOU.
