Miracle In the Mine

Miracle in the Mines Dear Lord, you’ve been with them thus far Please stay with them until they’re out. They’ve shared unselfishly what they had. They know what brotherly love’s about. Please be with those who seek a way To bring those buried men to light. Seventeen days before they were found, Not knowing whether day or night. Please soften the rock through which they drill And make their refuge stay secure. Please keep their minds and thoughts on you If four long months they must endure. May their loved one’s voices comfort them And let them know the whole world cares. Loving people everywhere Remember them with fervent prayers. By: Joyce Johnson

So sad for those miners in Chile Joyce but u have offered a tremendous prayer in poetry for them and miracles do happens.. sometimes they take a while... hopefully food and water can be sent down to them to sustain four months..luv.. good luck in the contest..

So timely and still so worthy of our prayers and concern....bless these men, and may they find a way to hang on and be free. Well done, Joyce.

Truly a miracle, Joyce, and written with hope and inspiration. The power of prayer cannot be overstated. It works! You reinforce my belief and I remember this recent occurrence well. Excellent writing as always, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
