The Miracle
There is a majestic quality
In everyone for all to see.
Some keep it hidden, some never realize
The magnificence they hold in others' eyes.
Ah, yes, life itself is the gift.
Though the memory, itself, Time doth sift.
And some might think the reverence gone
As those we love one by one pass on.
But the intricacies Fate doth weave,
In commemoration for all who grieve.
Are the blessings given to rebirth-
From souls no longer of this earth.
At first notice I came undone,
My father staring at me through my son.
But, now, in joy I ascertain
Through him, my father lives again.
I look to heavens' resounding grace-
Renewed appreciation of life and my place.
Knowing as each newborn child opens their eyes,
The miracle continues, no one really dies.

Thanks for posting, Joanne.
As I was in church on Friday morning for Assumption, I suddenly realized the date and wished Dad a happy birthday. Life goes on and our busy lives keep us occupied but we'll never forget Dad & Mom and everything they had done for us. Even now, I find myself asking for their help - some things never change.
