Your smallest mark touches my heart Your words, expressions may be forgettable But you aren't! I would be lost without you! I found you in a box of many...

January 1st 2017 Written: by Miracle Man 1-1-2020 Today’s my third anniversary, since being declared clinically dead. January first has since held, mixed feelings for me instead. Today, I’m unable to look back, recalling this time with glee. But God had plans for my life, that I couldn’t foresee. Doctors called me miracle man, which calmed my fears. My Cardiologist called me Lazarus, which still induces tears. “My...
