Miracles CAN happen;
they just don't.
And some times that's the worst part.
That's what I'm thinking to myself
as I watch him step another step,
but I know to think the same
hasn't ever crossed his mind.
Would I be the same
if I had to step another step
like the way he steps his steps?
Like the way he holds his hand
- in spoken, stuttered breaths -
His hand upon his side
scissored in his stride
Seizured in his eyed -
Look at me,
Don't look at me!
But that's not what he says...
I'm thinking to myself.
I wonder what he sees.
It would take him long to say it,
so I waited patiently.
He said "Miracles CAN happen,
and that miracle is me".
