A Reminder About Miracles Poem by Jim Yerman

A REMINDER ABOUT MIRACLES

Today…a reminder about all the miracles around us…
(some within this poem I shall mention)
and how we don't have to look very hard to find them…
but we do have to pay attention.

Our neighbor is pregnant with their second child…
Is there any more amazing wonder on Earth…
In humans…
in animals…
in plants…
than the miracle of birth?

Eyes that see…
ears that hear…
our non-stop beating heart…
brains that can think…
and minds that can create poetry…music and art.

Sunrises…
sunsets…
a moon and stars that glow…
falling leaves
the wind
summer rains which in the winter turn to show

Clouds…
rainbows…
friendships…
different colors in the sky…
the endless sands along the beaches…
the evolution of a butterfly.

The way all miracles interact…why it's like we're all of one relation…
as if that was the intention in the miracle of creation.

These are just a few of the miracles I've seen…some of the miracles I have known…
I'll stop now with the hope you'll discover miracles of your own.

Remembering the creators placed miracles all around us…
for it was their intention…
we wouldn't have to look too hard to find them…
but we do have to pay attention.
