Miracles do Happen

In a world crippled by pain
Tortured by fear,
Laughter is a miracle.

In a world grown cold and insane,
Tears are a miracle.

In a world senile in its selfishness,
Children sharing is a miracle.

In a world defended by long knives of hate,
Love is a miracle.

In a world defiled by poison,
A flower is a miracle.

In a scarred, excluded world,
God’s grace is a miracle.

In a world divided by gangsters and villains,
The Cross is a miracle.
