Miracle In the Night
I gazed up at the glimmering stars, on this moon lit night
You can see forever, as there are no clouds in sight
My mind is transported back to that magical day
That day, I met the woman that transformed my way
She opened the portal to a magnificent new place
I dared to put a foot forward, it forever changed my pace
She softly took my hand, and guided me through
She turned, whispered in my ear, “I have been waiting for you”
She encouraged me to follow this glorious new path
She counseled me to resist the urge to look back
This new path is not without its obstacles and trials
But it is a path I need to have knowledge of
As I looked down the path, all I could see was a radiant light
It was more brilliant than the day, and more darkened than the night
She spoke to me in a voice so heavenly,
“That is your destination. It is in your control from here”
As she released my hand, she faded away
I heard a commanding voice from afar instruct me
“Remember these things you have witnessed tonight
Venture into the world, spread the light”
