Miracle


Title of poem: Miracle 
 
Dear Mom and Dad, 
 
When you first saw my eyes, I was a newborn 
Born at 23 weeks premature, a miracle 
As I grew, my parents were lyrical 
“Look at this baby, she is a miracle!”
The doctors were doubtful, my parents were artful
Developing and stimulating my brain
All day, every day till the alarm clock rung 
Signaling a new day of learning to come 
In school, teachers were stunned by my high grades 
“Look, just look at this miracle with all straight A’s!”
The doctors were shocked, my parents were heartful 
“Look at this baby, she is a miracle!”
Now at 18 years old, I am always grateful 
For two loving parents, never spiteful
Always thinking about their little miracle 
“Look at this baby, she is a miracle!”
