Miracles

Miracles utter beneath their footsteps

Screaming to be heard, pounding to be acknowledged

As they yell, they realize they are silent

And no one knows they exist

 

A small girl crouches down to her feet

She hears them, and whispers

Why do you scream so loud?

Why do you cry so much?

 

And the miracles whisper back to the child

How such a beautiful soul she is

They carry her and her feet miles

They show her possibility and opportunity

 

The girl, much older now, looks back down to her feet

The miracles no longer scream to be heard

Thank you, she calls, thank you for showing me

The amazing wonders this world contains

 

However they call back to her, in confusion

We did nothing, you showed yourself this world

You brought happiness into your own life

We only reminded you how amazing you are

 

A tooth-filled smile painted the girl’s face

Yes, this world is beautiful you know.
