Lenten Poetry: Day 30

Miracle

There's been a call for a miracle,
but Jesus says no:
The only miracle going is Jonah's
Jonah and Jesus in fish and earth,
buried,
then catapulted
to new life.
You want a miracle?
The miracle is in believing.
Ask the Queen of Sheba
or the people of Ninevah.
Then go your way and live forever.

--Ann Weems
