Miracles

Miracles

By May Kwek

He asked for a miracle

In the deep dark night

And somewhere, someone

Switched on the light

But he didn’t see and so he asked again

For a miracle once more

And somewhere on a beach

A turtle laid eggs on the shore

So he asked again, for he didn’t know

And nearby a baby cried

The first sound it had ever made

Before that fateful night

The man covered his ears

And asked for a miracle again

And as the sun rose outside the window

A flower bloomed on the plain

He smiled at the flower but wanted a miracle

So he kneeled down and prayed

And his daughter saw the flower

And rose from the darkness she was laid

He saw no miracle and asked again

For a miracle did he plea

“Hooray! A miracle!” he cried

He had won the lottery
