"Thank you God for healing me...
Thank you God for healing me...
Thank you God for healing me..."

Someone once told me that the only way
To ask God for anything,
Was to thank him in advance.

"Thank you God for healing me...
Thank you God for healing me...
Thank you God for healing me..."

And on and on it runs
Inside my mind,
Throughout my soul,
As I tightly close my eyes
To the tears
Of my suffering.

This melancholy melody
Replays each night,
And all throughout each day
Each and every time
The heaviness beats
Inside my hollow chest.

But then...

Tonight brought something new.
A beautiful beginning...

Tonight...

The enchantment of a brand new baby
Born into this loving family
Which I've learned to call my own,
Brought a rush of love

And



Love



Is



Healing.



And



Healing, in return, is filled with love.

So beautiful,
So...

Perfect.

10 tiny toes and miniature fingers too
A look of magnificent wonder
Dancing across her clouded eyes.

"Happy birthday Baby Girl,
Welcome to this world."

The surprising hint of a smile
Plays across her pink lips...

And now...

I can't help but to allow
My own eyes to cloud
With bittersweet rain
At such a remarkable thing.

The wonder of a brand new life,
A work of absolute perfection,
Does wonders for a soul
In need of healing.

"Thank you God, for healing me."
