The wonder

by jamie25   Sep 22, 2004


Looking through my daughter's eyes,
I saw the beauty in the midnight sky,
I saw the amazement of birds flying by,
and i even listened to the wind's gentle sigh,
Then i began to see our blunder ,
Why do we lose that wonder?

seeing things from her point of view,
I eyed the grass covered in it's morning dew,
I smelled the fragrant flowers growing,
And i even stopped to watch the fire flies glowing,
Then i began to see our blunder,
why do we lose that wonder?

Watching how she sees everything
I noticed how lovely the birds can sing,
I spied a butterfly in all it's glory,
And even let the rain pour down on me,
Then once again seen our blunder,
But why do we have to lose that wonder?

    Jamie:
    That was very cool. Some of the best poems come from reality, but I tend to agree with Hullo. Things won't ever return to that innocence. Maybe that is the reason we procreate? To experience that wide-eyed innocence, even on a small scale as we watch the way our children interact with the world?
