Miracles Everyday That Exist Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I've been there,
With just the comforting from shadows...
Beneath a favorite tree,
Lifting branches towards the sky.

And I've been there,
Before the dawning of Sun came...
To observe darkness disappear,
As a new day came to appear.

And I've been there much too often,
Not to realize what satisfies me...
With a sitting to reminisce,
What has gone.

I've been there and I am here to know,
Life and love and meaning.
I've been there and I am here to know,
To row without a knocking of my own boat.

I've been there,
With just the comforting from shadows...
Beneath a favorite tree,
Lifting branches towards the sky.

And today with my eyes opened wide,
With a clearing done from experiences lived...
I can confess and not deny or wish to try,
The witnessing of miracles everyday that exist.
