Million To One Poem by Mark Heathcote

Million To One



Did a tear make this cool blue ocean?
Did mildew or moss make this isle?
Was it a miracle that brought you here?
And set your whole face for me a smile.
Even when there was a million
Good reasons almost every day to frown.

Pray-tell whereby did that, first tear
That sprung filled an ocean come from
Pray don't say I ever made you frown
Hang around like a cloud full of rain
Don't tell me you laid like moss on a hill
With a stone in your heart covered in mildew.

Oh, just tell me I was that miracle too
The one who made you smile through
It all when it all was going badly wrong
Just tell me I was the million to one
That kept you strong downy-soft at heart
When the land; had grown intensely dark.

Darling, how I thank the ground the ocean
That brought you back home safely to me
And if any tears did stop, suspend to give
I'll kiss them away with every day that I live
To give my love to you without a day of sorrow
Wherever we live, it'll be our own heavenly, isle?
