The Miracle of My Life

The Miracle of My Life

I ache and sunshine lights my home.
I despair and awareness coaxes me
toward other choices.
I complain at unfairness and failure
while opportunities for learning abound.
I yearn for more,
yet my cupboards burst with belongings.
I resent unkindness while loving compassion
beats against the inner walls of my heart.
I grieve for mistakes and losses
and the miracle of my life shines
like a Christmas tree, twinkling.
I yearn for something different
and the moment contains
a fullness of grace and wonder
that waits to be received.
