Brian Beaudry's poem about his daughter Angie that lived only 3 days. He titled it "God Doesn't Waste Miracles" and you may read it at < www.voy.com/7622/ >

Changed

right there
in the middle of elation
full of caffeinated vibrations
and the essence of
the best breakfast
in weeks

savoring the flavor
of life
and the joy of living it
smiling inside at the beauty
of joy
and vigor

I read his poem
his poem
of ultimate love
his poem
of ultimate loss
and his faith
in the miracle not wasted

she lived
embodying perfect love
but three days
yet
perfect spirit
eternally
upon his heart
under his skin
profoundly a part of him

I witnessed
his love
his faith
and became subdued,
filled with tears
transformed to a puddle
of sorrow
at his pain
and in awe
of his witness

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
