Curiosity
I’m curious about the great expanse of space,
The universe, the milky way,
And all the spinning planets.
I’m curious about the depths of the oceans,
Beautiful coral reefs, shimmering fish,
And mysterious species being discovered.
I’m curious about the burning gases of the sun,
The effects on our planet, the change in seasons,
And the way plants turn towards the light.
I’m curious about other people,
The way we talk, sharing thoughts,
Together we can learn.
The universe, the milky way,
And all the spinning planets.
I’m curious about the depths of the oceans,
Beautiful coral reefs, shimmering fish,
And mysterious species being discovered.
I’m curious about the burning gases of the sun,
The effects on our planet, the change in seasons,
And the way plants turn towards the light.
I’m curious about other people,
The way we talk, sharing thoughts,
Together we can learn.
