Wallet Card – Expect A Miracle (poem)

This great Laminated Wallet Card features the poem, “EXPECT A MIRACLE!”

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul

And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security.

And you learn kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises.

And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with grace of an adult, not the grief of a child.

And your learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans.

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.

So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul. Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.

And you learn that you really can endure… that you really are strong and you really do have worth.

And you really are a child of God.
