Miriam: Lyrics

Miriam is a little girl
Sensitive and kind
Her special gift is the way that she lives
She thinks with her heart
And feels with her mind

Miriam is a wonderful friend
Helps through the hurt and the healing
Through good and bad she always has
The power to feel the feeling

When someone cries, she cries
When someone laughs, she laughs
She kicks every stone
Smells every flower
All along life’s path

She says, “Live each moment as it passes by.
This moment is all we have.”
Miriam knows how to cry
She knows how to laugh.

Miriam grows and meets a boy
Sensitive and kind
His special gift is the way that he lives
He thinks with his heart
And feels with his mind

Miriam loves being a wife and mother
Works through the hurt and the healing
As the family grows, everyone knows
The power to feel the feeling

When someone cries, she cries
When someone laughs, she laughs
They kick every stone
Smell every flower
All along life’s path. They say,

“Live each moment as it passes by.
This moment is all we have.”
Miriam knows how to cry
She knows how to laugh.

Miriam sits in a wheelchair
She takes a long nap everyday
When she lifts her grey hair, I’m there
To hear what she has to say

Miriam talks ‘bout her family and friends
Remembers the hurt and the healing
Through her life’s history, she gives to me
The power to feel the feeling

And when she cries, I cry
When she laughs, I laugh
I’ll kick every stone
Smell every flower
All along life’s path. I’m going to

Live each moment as it passes by
This moment is all we have
Miriam taught me to cry
With the wonder of life in her eyes

Miriam knows how to cry
She knows how to laugh
