There are millions
of microbes living in you,
living beings you can’t see.
I wonder how many other
creatures of God as well,
how many spirits,
and how many gifts,
how many living prayers,
how many songs?
I bet they know to do things
we can’t imagine,
have powers we don’t have without them,
beautify us in ways we’ll never see.
Alone we would be lone indeed,
but together what courage we have!
I bet each of us with our billions
can be amazing.
Let’s astonish the world
with our dancing.
