REBIRTH by michelle childress
I have given up before
I would have again
But a miracle passed my way
And I snatched it up with my hands
I knew not where it would lead me
I didn't know where it would end
But I put all my faith in this miracle
That I snatched up with my hands
I didn't know what to make of it
I didn't even know where to start
but that little miracle just kept growing
And soon became close to my heart
I started to respect it
I even started to pray
But little did I know this miracle
Would help me find my way
I knew I could trust this thing called a miracle
This thing I controlled within my hands
It became a beacon and guide to me
It knew where I’d once been
This miracle didn't stop growing
It helped me make new friends
That miracle was a school of second chances
And I embraced it with my heart and hands
I had given up before
I would have again
But PLC high school turned my life around
And kindness became my new companion
That I snatched up and gave to a friend……...
