Mommy, What Is A Miracle?

The little girl is always asking questions

She never runs out of things to say

Her mother is the one she talks the most to

She has a new question ready every day

Today seems like a day like any other

But her mother's about to learn that she doesn't have a clue

So, as they look at one another

The child speaks up in a voice that's clear and true

Chorus

Mommy, what is a miracle?

Is it something only God can do?

Or can people make miracles, too?

Mommy, what is a miracle?

Can it be something that you say,

Just to brighten up someone's day?

Mommy, I really wanna know

What's a miracle?

The mother can not speak a word

She doesn't know what to do

Her daughter gazes in her face, wondering

Then she thinks of something new

Mother starts to speak but then

Her daughter is saying a silent prayer

Smiles and nods at the child again

What she says makes her mother stare

Chorus

Mommy, what is an angel?

Are they white and heavenly?

Or can they be people like you and me?

Mommy, what is an angel?

Can you be one by being a friend?

Helping hearts to grow and mend?

Mommy, I really wanna know

What's an angel?

The mother has been thinking about what she said

And now she knows just what to say

The daughter wonders, what's she thinking,

Is she going to pray?

After about a minute or three

The mother looks down at her with a smile

Hugs her daughter and says, "Please,

Now I have something to say,child

Chorus

Darling, what is a miracle?

I think that you are mine,

See, they happen all the time

Darling, what is an angel?

Somebody just like you

Who always knows what to do

Darling, I really want you to know

You're my miracle

And my angel, too
