Considering Whirligigs

Considering whirligigs, how they spin, While I, I sip on my ginger and gin Awaiting the next miracle my way, While my hair turns ever so gray Thinking about small wonders now, And asking myself, quietly, “How?”
FOURTH PLACE WINNER written July 6, 2021 for "Bite Size Poem No. 11" Poetry Contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

So delightful, Milton; waiting for miracles is all we can do, but we need to catch them before they go. Good luck in the contest

Thank you, Lasaad. Yes, we must always be on the lookout for a miracle and grab it while we can. Thanks again for your good wishes.

That is soooo true, Sunshine Smile. We must be quick to hold on to them and allow them to brighten our outlook on life.
