Evening is growing near
It's kind of cold for this time of year
I think of Mickie and how well he is
God's strength has become his
He has heard me with almighty ears
Wiping away my frightened tears
Now I know the baby is going to be fine
Every breath he takes is a magic sign
There is no way of thanking Him for the miracle
There is no way of describing a life so beautiful
I'll just sit back and be amazed
As this child is raised
We both have new eyes that gazed
Never looking at life the same
Crying for help, and help actually came
Author notes
My nephew has bounced back so well from a terrible beginning of his life, brain injury due to negligence of the hospital staff. That is what inspired my poem.

The faith you have in this situation is huge and something most people do not have at all, including me I believe.

:-D This poem is big on many different levels and I appreciate you sharing it with us. I know that the birth of a child isn't always thought of as a miracle, even when the child becomes fully healthy... so thank you for recognizing God's goodness in this event.
My favorite line was the thought that each new breath is a new miracle and a sign of God's faithfulness. -
Well
A new life and rejoicing. Wonderful I know for I am recently a grandad & I love it. Life works in strange ways but the happiness felt in your poem says it all. Rejoice and enjoy Gods new , wonderful gift to the world

God is near to those who have a humble and contrite heart. He cannot deny the cry of the meek and sincere. Be blessed and continue to thank Him for this miracle. And this was a great start on that road.
