Miracle Stories

I've been writing and sending miracle stories to Chicken Soup for the Soul for almost a week now. I never knew how many stories my life have until I put it all down into words. now what I'm praying is another miracle... I hope that one of my stories will be published then.

Another Chapter

I know it's over

I know it's gone

every time mom throws the calendar

every time a new one hangs on the wall

every time the whole family gathers around

I know it's over

what the next year will bring

that I don't know

that I'm not sure

will it be different from the other year

or is it just a matter of number change?

but I know I'm sure

the passed year brought me tears

brought me laughter

brought me friends I've been searching for a long time

brought me flowers with scent that still lingered

brought me good news in golden wings

brought me bad, sad news in hearse

those things were in suitcase now

the cab's here waiting to take it all away

the ticket's on its pocket

one-way ticket

no turning back, last trip last chapter

in my life's journey

I sniffled

tears with reason I don't know

but it all made me

brave enough

smart enough

strong enough
