The screaming bawl of a born child,
A tear of happiness and delight in the mother’s eye
The tiny, fragile being just born
Giving someone’s world a joy unknown!
A child sitting on the shoulders of his father
Looking at the world with gleaming, bright eyes
Feeling the pleasure of being tall
And seeing things beyond the swarm
An old lady, probably 94, walking her dog
Early in the morning, with a smile on her face
Wonder, how she still has a warm good morning
For the stranger walking by
The birds chirping every morning
Flying high and free in the sky
Giving us a feeling of being set free
To conquer the dreams we dare dream
A little girl, maybe 9 walking by
Watching an old lady, probably 94 with her dog,
Struggling to cross the traffic lights
Gently she holds her hand and walks her to a park nearby
A father feeling the bliss of having his little son on his shoulder
Jumping up and down with excitement
Probably helping him feel the pleasure
Of being responsible in every way for something so beautiful
A newly born child, sleeping peacefully
Against the warmth of the mother’s *****
Mother, gently holding the miracle she gave birth to not an hour ago
Sleeping with a smile and tranquility on her face
Stupid pillow fight with a sibling
Childish combat for the remote control
That non-stop laughter over silly things
Till tears roll down those beautiful eyes
Stories heard from a grandmother
Lots of love that she unconditionally showers
Grandfather who knew magic tricks
And surprised his grand children with chocolates from under his sleeve
How am I to describe the beautiful things I witness?
Maybe, as a miracle
I sure am lucky
To be living in a world full of angels
Surrounded by wonderful people
Witnessing a million miracles in my life!
