I Thought I Knew
I was clueless when I thought that
when my children grew up and on
Their own, I would no longer worry.
They've grown up and now I worry more
when I got married, I didn’t think I could
love her more then I did then.
but after many years my love for her grew
such, that I would give my soul to her.
When young, I felt I knew more then my
parents. I thought I was smarter for their
way of thinking was old fashion. As I got older
I realized my parents grew very wise.
When I was young I thought love
and miracles were a sham, a cure-all
for their troubles. As I gained experience,
I know now this wasn’t true.
I wonder whether Love and miracles are
all around us, waiting for our senses to
grow sharper. I know now that love and
miracles are related
for they have served me well.
