My Miracle

Wouldn’t I like to work a miracle,
to lay my hands on someone and they’re cured,
but wait, there is a miracle spiritual--
we pray and save a sinner, we’re assured.

Pick up a pin with love, St. Theresa said,
and save a sinner with your little deed,
and Mary came to Fatima and pled
for us to pray for sinners most in need.

We like the physical ones--they can be seen,
the spiritual miracles are like a wraith,
a change in one’s behavior we can glean,
for changes in a soul--our eyes of faith.

The lifetime physical ones are nice to see,
the spiritual ones last an eternity.
