The Easter Miracle

All dolled up in her Easter dress She sat quietly watching through the glass Children with baskets searching around For the eggs i’d hidden in the grass Her spirit soared among the clouds Her smile as bright as her eyes She lived each day for the moment Scoffing the reality that underlies It was shortly after her third birthday When the devastating news came in Plagued with a rare form of cancer Faced with a battle she wouldn’t win The doctors uncertain of her remaining time So her quality of life was our goal Family and friends said nightly prayers Asking God to watch over her soul Treatment commenced, but to no avail My little Glass Princess was slipping away I wasn’t ready to say good-bye Not now, tomorrow or any day I placed my head upon her chest And held her body tight I felt a presence and opened my eyes To a most incredible sight A bearded man in Holy cloth Standing beside her bed He said he’d come another time Then gently kissed her head I knew I had witnessed a miracle I asked the doctor to check her condition He said “ I have no explanation” Her cancer has gone into remission Nineteen years ago she defeated the odds And this Easter she’ll wear a wedding dress I have never questioned what happened that day When Jesus kissed my little Glass Princess
