The Miracles of Life

Ours is a memory of sweeter days gone by.
Days of lilting laughter; nights to make us cry.
Memories of growing up in harmony, through strife,
Learning through experience the miracles of life.

Miracles of "laughter" and good humor that we share;
"Faith" and "hope" and "charity";
The things that make us care...
"Compassion" for our fellow-man, and with the one above...
"Friendship" lodged with "loyalty". "trust" begetting "love"...
"Aspirations" giving rise to even greater change.
While "health" will bear our burden,
And "truth" will hold the reins.

And all of these are miracles.
Each cause has its effect.
And every one will follow one,
And each one will direct
Us as we make our way from dawn to dusk.
They give us our direction;
For each one has a special link...
A valuable connection.
And when they come together
To form that special chain,
It's a band that can't be broken
And no mortal can explain.
