Tiny, Sweet Miracles

Making it all easier in only a moment

Ever witnessed the tiny, sweet miracles
That steal a lifetime’s worth of worries
In only a moment?
As you stare into space, lost and lonely,
Suddenly, a flock of birds flies by free,
Freeing you from dark thoughts
In only a moment.
Or while traveling home, tired and tortured
From a long day’s weights and woes
You see a sweet smile on a tiny face
Giving the evils a run for their money
In only a moment.
When a song of your choice,
Capable of touching your heart, sometimes heal it,
Is miraculously followed by another that you wished for,
Stroking your head, making you feel safe,
In only a moment.
Like how a kind word from a direction never known,
From a person never noticed before,
Unexpectedly, turns despair to hope
In only a moment.
And many such tiny, sweet miracles
Adding sparks and colours to an otherwise grey life,
Making life worth living,
Making life beautiful,
In only a moment.
