Have you been witness to a miracle?

Question

Miracle on 28th Ave, South

By C.S. Scotkin

A ninety year old

sharecropper’s daughter

lost her left leg six months ago,

nearly lost her right.

Daily visits to see to wounds

horrific, yet her will remained

unblemished by hopelessness

or self pity, as her body slowly healed.

I knocked on her door today

“Come in!” Her voice is so strong,

so light. Her wrinkled face glows,

her smile is blessing.

“Sit down, child,

I want to show you something,”

Her old walker is next to her,

puts it in front of her wheel chair.

Removes the blanket from her lap.

At last, the prize! Aluminum trophy!

She cautiously stood,

took four steps into my memory, forever.

Answer 1

I've seen many miracles, they're called people.  Thank you for recalling the wonder to memory.

Answer 2

that's really cool but no personally i have never witnessed a miracle and don't think that would count because it took her effort and her hard work to accomplish walking again she did that for herself... not god he had no part and if he did why would he hurt her in such a way in the first place

Answer 3

I am sensitive towards all of God`s creations. Everyday when I wake and take a breath, it`s a miracle. Birds, the fact that I'm alive, and even an airplane ride is a miracle.

When you see people who are afflicted & live as though nothing is affecting them, like that 92 yr. old, blessed woman, I agree that is a miracle.

for just being there

to be a witness ,

and gives you a clear vision

of great little things in your life

that no one would care to think of but you

. because you are honest  enough to your self to believe in miracles

Answer 6

A lovely piece of work which I can relate to

as I have worked amongst the sick and the elderly for a long time.

I now have to applaud the work you have done to make this visible to others that a miracle indeed occurs in every persons life on a daily basis.

The woman with the walker has stepped into my memory as well.

As has the Lady with a brace.. I will always remember her courage and come back from stroke that left her bedridden and helpless! Yet she dared to try and we walked across the room daily with a brace on her leg and me by her side... To some nothing special.. to me AWESOME!

Answer 7

My Gawd, dis is de po-a-tree sect-eon. Comment on the poetry as well as the question people... sigh

Yes many times, especially when I look in a mirror. I also worked in a neonatal intensive care unit; miracles are daily happenings there, and my greatest respect is to the nurses that look out for these little miracles. I once saw a baby alive that would fit into the palm of my hand, weighed a little more than a pound.

I loved the poem, I suspect because I too am getting old.

add: I didn't work in the NICU everyday, I was only there occassionally doing maintenance on biomedical equipment.

I loved those nurses... they were the cream of the crop.

Answer 8

...every morning... as I open my eyes to a new sun rise... I witness a miracle.

We take so much of lifes blessings for granted... this is a beautiful reminder of that. Well done!!

Answer 9

What strength this woman has - 90 years old and still ready to give life a l*****g. I admire her fortitude. I thoroughly enjoy these stories of your patients.  Many times - when I have felt blue - you have lifted my spirits. Thank you for sharing ♥

Answer 10

While I was working one night at my job in a Hospital,I feel I witnessed a miracle. It was a half hour before I was to go home. I worked to 11 pm. I was sitting at the bedside of an eldery dying woman. Just trying to figure out what was next for her. I was hoping I could be holding her hand when she took her last breath. She had no family. The room was dark but the hall light was on. All of a sudden I saw a light that looked like a big halo come over her whole body. I took her vitals and she was gone. I actually witnessed her crossing over. What a gift that was. I will never forget it.
