NO-ONE EVER MENTIONED

NO ONE EVER MENTIONED

No-one ever mentioned

The beauty I would see

When my life was changed 

And a gift was given to me.

I expected many changes ~

Better health and days,

I knew that I would learn

To understand these ways.

No-one ever told me

That tears would fill my eyes

That I would stand in wonder

Beneath the star filled skies.

I never really saw the beauty 

Of roses raindrop kissed

I've learned again the wonder

Of standing in the mist.

I saw again the sunset

And once more heard the rain,

Listened to the thunder storms

After days of pain.

No-one ever told me 

That I would feel so blessed

That family would be cherished

And friends would be the best.

No-one ever told me

That wonder would fill my heart

And that for me it would be

Like a brand new start

No one ever told me 

What joy would fill my soul

I am very glad to discover

The things that make me whole.
