Miracles
The first washed over me, exciting and new
Sable hair and eyes of blue
Future's promise held us in its spell
United and strong, dreams within reach
Truly blessed, no need to beseech
One miracle, one crushing farewell
The second appeared without being sought
Golden hair and kind of thought
A life revived, dreams did swell
Bliss for three, for everyone
New joy, for us, a second son
One miracle, one crushing farewell
The third, a beauty, content alone
Misunderstood, no fault of her own
A mystery vanquished, the dream to sell
New home, two boys, love and more
Her spirit, her tenderness, I did adore
One miracle, one crushing farewell
A fourth has come, I've bared my soul
Again and again, but they leave me not whole
The dream's come true, no mate to tell
I live for my sons, and through them, I know
My life seems full, but loneliness grows
Three miracles, so many farewells
