Miracle


Miracle

Ray of sunshine
Mischief in her eyes
Squeals of glee
Tottering on unsteady legs
Running around
Trying to keep up
With those who
Are bigger than her
Which is… everyone

Miracle is the daughter of an old co-worker of mine. I remember her as a gorgeous little toddler who always brought a smile to my face, and, well, everyone's face. She was her mother's surprise baby. She came after her mother had been told she could not have any more children. She was also, quite literally, a surprise. She had no idea that she was pregnant with her daughter until she went into labor. It's hard to believe, I know, but that's her story.
I have lost contact with them over the past four years, but I still remember her youngest child.

A fond memory.
