i'd tell you i love you
but
i think you know

those words
they're not big enough

so i'll just have to settle for
duty, loyalty, luck, miracles

yes, that's it, miracles
i heard the christians used to draw those as

stars

but i'd never draw you a halo
that wouldn't be right

and it's not because your head's
not
big enough

too big, rather

but anyway
i'll stick with that and those

those wonderful, funny funny
miracles

the ones that get you to smile

until one day you learn some more
and you realize

those aren't big enough either
