Miracle Of This Moment Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Enjoying the global world through the Internet
sharing the breathless delight that produced a
halo round Simon Cowell's head & made Piers
Morgan beam like a light -when eighty-year old
grandmother Janey Cutler from Glasgow got up
and made the audience clap -for her courage to
walk on stage and sing "No Regrets" in a voice
as strong and amazing as her resilient spirit

All started to cheer inflating with pride at sharing
life with her representing us - feisty & charming
as we all wish to be at her age, and in my usual
obsessive way I replay the video over and over
heart swelling until I am no longer tethered to
this office but fly in the sky wishing to imprint
my soul with the miracle of this moment in
order to carry the memory forever
