It was late winter
Snow covered landscapes, while breathtaking
Were an annoyance to me
In fact lately, I found everything annoying
Needless to say, I was depressed
Depressed over the cold, bone chilling,
And lonely nights
Children enjoying the sights and sounds
Of winter’s magic
Did little to cheer me
Being disabled did not help
I found it hard to cope
But, God is good
And miracles do happen
Even when we don’t believe
For, one such dreary day
I ran into my first love
He had changed somewhat
But for the better
His eyes still twinkled with excitement
His face still blushed
At the slightest hint of embarrassment
And, he had the most brilliant smile
I was pleased beyond measure
To see him
From a distance
I spotted his handsome visage
And rushed to improve
My own appearance
Too late, he had noticed me
In all my disarray
Then, much to my surprise
He grabbed me and gave me
The biggest hug
He then proceeded to plant
A stolen kiss
I was shocked at his boldness
But pleasantly so
Chills ran up and down my spine
As a familiar warmth spread
Through my heart
Leaving me speechless
But, words were not necessary
When he finally let me go
He inquired about my welfare
I said I had been getting along
What about him
He replied he’d been OK, too
But, he went on to say
I never forgot about you
Come with me, he coaxed
Let’s dance
But there’s no music, I replied
Yes there is, he responded
Can’t you hear it
And suddenly, there we were
Dancing in the middle of the snow
Just me and him
In a world all our own
Yes, miracles do still happen
Even when we don’t believe
Happy tears trickled down my cheeks
As I realized this was the miracle
I had been praying for all along
No, words were not necessary
He was here with me, now
And, that’s all that mattered
