magic

There is magic in the hearts of a lover’s soul

Who found hope in a place of another’s arms 

They see the world as a half to a whole 

A place to experience with another’s laughter

There is magic in the eyes of a school child 

Who learns of the undying world beneath her 

She is undaunted by the vastness of what is around her

Knowing of the change she is to bring

There is magic in the hug of a friend

Who tightly embraces those she has missed 

A show of excitement for the moments to come

And all the years to be shared after

There is magic in the knitting needles of a grandmother

Who quietly makes her beloved’s scarf

To protect from the cold and fill their heart with love 

An unspoken promise of affection and time

There is magic in the hands of a young boy

Who makes the world from his bare built blocks

Creations of futuristic temptation in his fingertips

A universe’s imagination brought to reality

There is magic in the song of a church choir 

Who sing in the name of those forever loved

A collective hope to be looked after 

In the praise of their musical melody

There is magic in the mind of you and I 

As we read of the worlds ideas

Finding a place of discovery and light

In the midst of acceptance and love
