Ordinary Miracle


As much as I love Sarah Mclachlan the timing couldn't have been worse last week, when C and I had just spent a good 30 minutes talking and crying about Sophie, when Ordinary Miracle came on the radio. I burst into tears all over again, and since then it's been her song. And it's hard to listen to it without tearing up.


It’s not that

everything is beautiful.

It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

The sky knows when its time to snow,

Don’t need to teach a seed to grow.


It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

Life is like a gift they say

Wrapped up for you everyday;

Open up and find a way

To give some of your own.

Isn’t it remarkable?

Like every time a rain drop falls,


It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

Birds in winter have their fling

But always make it home by spring.


It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

When you wake up everyday

Please don’t throw your dreams away;

Hold them close to your heart

Cause we’re all a part

Of the ordinary miracle.

Ordinary miracle

Do you want to see a miracle?

It seems so exceptional

That things just work out after all.


It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

Sun comes up and shines so bright

And disappears again at night.

It’s just another ordinary miracle

It’s just another ordinary miracle today.



I wish Sophie could have been my miracle baby. And even though this song is about everything she's not, it'll still always remind me of her and what could have been, and what maybe we'll have one day with another baby.
