Miracles

by Thea Marcelo

Miracles are gifts from the heavens above
Something to rejoice and remember in delight.
These gifts from our Father, the Lord in the sky
Surely they’re marvels worthy of our smiles.

They defy explanation,
Don’t need much but our appreciation,
But how come we neglect, maltreat and abuse
These gifts given to us in awe and utter wonder.

Food, shelter and decorations to hang,
People, parties and presents galore,
Offered to us with so much awe and pleasure
Yet how much we forget their worth and value.

Miracles are given for a purpose –a reason,
Entrusted to us without contempt nor question.
All it need is our word –our vow,
That we will surely be true
Not only in heart, but also in soul.
