Miracles

Andrew Charles Forrest

Miracles

 

Nineteen miles a second we sped

Life hangs by a gossamer thread

Humans two hundred thousand years not dead

And you don’t believe in miracles?

 

We go to the moon and aim for mars

We build six million tonne pyramids that point to the stars

Every snowflake has a different DNA as is ours

And you don’t believe in miracles?

 

There are probably two hundred billion suns

A cloud that floats weighs a thousand tonnes

But exists on average twenty minutes one

And you don’t believe in miracles?

 

The largest nest in the world was built by ants

There’s a cure for every sickness in natures plants

One day we’ll know them so we can advance

That’s why I believe in miracles?

    An impressive and well-written list of reasons why only the pseudo "blind " and "deaf" can choose to ignore such miracles. A compelling write and am so glad I caught it dear Andrew.

    We believe in MIRACLES
    We've seen a soul set free
    Miraculous the change in ONE
    Redeemed by CALVARY
    We've seen the LILLY push its way
    Up through the stubborn sod
    We believe in MIRACLE
    Cos We believe in GOD - AMEN

    Thanks for sharing ANDREW and reminding us of the millions of everyday MIRACLES - So many of which we take for granted !
    They are all the handiwork of OUR GOD who both created & sustains the UNIVERSE. We are both Scientists but in our Research - we are only *Thinking Gods thoughts after HIM* AMEN ! Thanks for sharing your *THOUGHT for SUNDAY* please check ours - THANKS

    Blessings & Peace in the SPIRIT
    Love ANGELA & BRIAN🧡💙🧡💙🧡

    Or are we (some of us anyway) at least prepared to believe in them? Give them a try, see what happens?
    I'm gonna go and sign on that sun (or planet) that's the farthest from Earth. Well, so they say, that's the best place for my singing! lol.

    Well we sure need miracles don't we. I'm thinking about what we are doing to this planet. But dirty, filthy old politics of the power mad keeps getting in the way.
    Will the future of an over polluted Earth see the miracle of survival via technology for an elite and anihillation of the rest and the wildlife.
    Yes we need miracles.

    Well written piece with a BIG contemporary punch. Excellent!

    Andrew,

    My great-grandfather always told us that if we respect and take care of nature...
    nature in return would take care of us! It certainly took care of him. He lived to be 102 yrs. young without ever seeing a doctor...nature and all it had to offer was his doctor!
    Thank you for sharing this great write!

    Nature in all its glory will win and our world will continue - maybe though when homo sapiens has made itself extinct.
