The Greatest Miracle
by
Heather Nicole Luther
For the longest time people watched you
Live your life day by day,
And they all watched you
As you threw that life away.
They all watched you be destructive
And they seen your ruin what you could’ve had,
And they all watched you make choices
That were mainly for the bad.
They all watched you go through something
That no one could explain,
But because they couldn’t understand
All they did was complain.
Over time we seen a miracle
And that was that you tried,
But as time kept progressing
That effort slowly died.
They all watched you drift away again
And we all shed our tears,
But never having you the same again
Was amongst our greatest fears.
Then another miracle came
And you came back around,
But even though you were here
Your old self was nowhere to be found.
In time they seen you leave
And they all pushed you away,
Eventually the communication
Slowly started to decay.
Then came along another miracle
When you returned after a some time,
We all talked of the past and recalled memories
And we realized that what happened wasn’t a crime.
Through all this, I’ve seen a lot of miracles
That I can truly recall,
But change is truly
The greatest miracle of them all.
