Alive

Sometimes they come into our lives
and bring with them a  smile
They help to fill an open space
that's been there quite a while...

A rescue from a sinking ship
sometimes we just exist
They help us find what we had lost
what we so long have missed...

A rain that falls upon the ground
so parched and cracked by drought
Our hearts begin to feel again
a flower starts to sprout...

A respite from our loneliness
from darkness we are drawn
Passions that once burned inside
return from where they'd gone...

The unexpected miracle
we hoped to one day see
The answer to a thousand prayers
we whispered silently...
