I always used to say
That I just wanted to go away
I hurt, I cried
I just wanted to lay down and die
Yet always I kept it up
Kept going but wouldn't shut up
About how horrible my life has been
And my words were whisked away in the wind
But then one day a miracle came
He smiled at me and said my name
We sat together and talked and talked
We got up and went for a walk
A friendship grew
And then love too
But still I'd cry
And want to die
A year went by
And my miracle sighed
Then year two
Came and went too
Time flew and yet stood still
The hurt just kept coming until
I opened my eyes and saw his face
Everything just clicked into place
He is MY miracle
And I am his too
God put us together
For a reason, it's true
Why did it take me so long to see
What the Lord God my Savior
Had given to me?
I am only human
I've made many mistakes
And the best of God's lessons
Was hard to intake
God loves one and all
He is forever with us
All he asks in return
Is a little bit of trust
Yes, God I understand now
This miracle you sent
And I'll always do my best
To never forget
You're here in my life
Through the good times and bad
I just look at my husband
And cannot be sad
He is MY miracle
And I am his too
God put us together
And forever... I Do
That I just wanted to go away
I hurt, I cried
I just wanted to lay down and die
Yet always I kept it up
Kept going but wouldn't shut up
About how horrible my life has been
And my words were whisked away in the wind
But then one day a miracle came
He smiled at me and said my name
We sat together and talked and talked
We got up and went for a walk
A friendship grew
And then love too
But still I'd cry
And want to die
A year went by
And my miracle sighed
Then year two
Came and went too
Time flew and yet stood still
The hurt just kept coming until
I opened my eyes and saw his face
Everything just clicked into place
He is MY miracle
And I am his too
God put us together
For a reason, it's true
Why did it take me so long to see
What the Lord God my Savior
Had given to me?
I am only human
I've made many mistakes
And the best of God's lessons

God loves one and all
He is forever with us
All he asks in return

Yes, God I understand now
This miracle you sent
And I'll always do my best
To never forget
You're here in my life
Through the good times and bad

And cannot be sad
He is MY miracle
And I am his too
God put us together
And forever... I Do
Author notes
Okay, so my boyfriend and I are not married yet, but that's because we want to be more financially stable before such an event occurs.
My boy is my miracle. We have been together for over 2 and 3/4 years and it took just over 2 years to break my depression. And it's true, one day everything just clicked into place.
I thank God every day for sending my miracle to me.

Whether you marry or not matters little
A piece of paper means nothing, true vows are given from the heart
Good luck in contest -
Only your heart knows
You know what you went through and true I hope you marry your "hope" soon, we all have things to work on in God's eyes, I was kinda swayed into thinking possibly your miracle was Jesus, never forget that Isahiah 53 says he is our husbandman.

I know this feeling when we don't notice and then a lightbulb goes off and we realize God was with us all along
beautiful written truth and a pleasure to read
God bless you...
