Чудеса там, где в них верят, и чем больше в них верят, тем чаще они случаются.
I have seen a mother at a crib — and I know what love is.
I have gazed into the eyes of a child, and I know what faith is.
I have heard the pounding of the sea, and I know what power is.
I have seen a rainbow in the sky, and I know what beauty is.
I have planted a tree and I know what hope is.
I have heard a wild bird sing — and I know what freedom is.
I have seen a chrysalis burst into life — and I know what mystery is.
I have lost my parents, and I know what sadness is.
I have been in prison — I know what loneliness is.
I have lived with the destitute and I know what want is.
I have sat with the dying, and I know what fear is.
I have gazed into the sky alight with stars at night, and
I know what the Infinite is.
I have seen and felt all these things,
So, now I know who God is.
