Who Gets the Miracle?

It’s a miracle they say.

The treatment healed the scans revealed

All traces of cancer are gone.

It’s a miracle they say.

Despite the wreckage they walked away

From the accident without harm.

But what of those I say

Whose disease consumes their bodies

That fade before their loved ones eyes?

What of those I say

Who don’t survive the accident

And leave this world without goodbyes?

Were they unworthy, did they not pray?

Was God fresh out of miracles that day?

If I were in charge of miracles,

I’d hand them out more freely.

So that everyone got their miracle

Of love or life or healing.

Yup.

My rescue? A miracle.

Your loss? Tough break. God was... what? Busy? Tired? Out off earshot?

This is a big question. Thanks for saying it out loud.
