Wonder

Wonder

As dusk sets in,

I wonder how well I will sleep tonight;

And how precious the morning will perceive me

When I am within its sight

But while the day sleeps,

I wonder how many things I have sought

And have truly found;

How many things for which I have dreamed

That I rightly deserve…

While the children play,

I wonder how sensitive

I have been to my fortune;

How honest I have been

As I confront life’s true meaning………

While the parents age,

I wonder how grateful

I have been;

How worthy of their patience

I am

While the friends laugh,

I wonder how much

Of their joy I truly want to share;

And how much of their tears

I can wipe away………

Then when dawn advances,

Knowing no other way to be

I wonder,

Still……
