A/N: The tune and basic structure for this song comes from the song, 'Miracles of Miracles,' in Fiddler on the Roof. Anything else you recognize comes from the Song of the Lioness, by Tamora Pierce. I don't own either of those. :( This fic was Betaed by HiddenValor, who is amazing!
Miracle of Miracles
Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles!
The Great Mother took a warrior once again,
Stood by her side and, miracle of miracles,
Walked her past the convent nuns!
Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles,
I was afraid the Great Mother would frown.
But as they did so long ago at the Chamber,
The Mother just made a law fall down.
When Great Mother softened the Conté's heart,
That was a miracle.
When the Mother made the Lady Knights of Tortall,
That was a miracle too.
But of all Her miracles, large and small,
The most miraculous one of all
Is that out of a worthless lump of clay,
She has made a knight today.
Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles!
The Mother took a noble to the pinnacle,
Turned her around and, miracle of miracles,
Led her to the Chamber of Ordeal.
When Alanna slew the Ysandir, yes!
That was a miracle.
When the Mother gave us lady knights in Tortall,
That was a miracle too.
But of all the Mother's miracles, large and small,
The most miraculous one of all
Is the one I thought could never be.
The Mother has given knighthood to me.
