Miracles exist too
Everyday,the depressing news streams,
In blood, gore, mayhem, hatred , the world is ending, it seems
And nowhere,does love reign supreme,
Airplanes blasted out of the sky ,fall
Body-parts,debris, burned beyond recognition,let out a mute ,piercing call,
Ticker symbols count out ever-growing numbers of those killed,
Collateral damage, of bloody conflicts,
The gruesome images, continuous broadcasts document,
The dissipation of humanity, cement
But as I move away from that bombardment
Look at the flower dressed in morning dew,
See a stranger stop to pick up a child's' fallen shoe,
See friends share a meal, a laugh ,or two
Know the connection ,you feel, when you help ,another like you,
I am hopeful yet, that in this crazed world,miracles exist too.
