Sweep of Wonder
There is wonder out the window.
At the feeder, in the trees,
Wonder on the walk to school
In how the puddles freeze.
There is wonder in your wave goodbye
In doors flung open wide,
Wonder in your toothless grin
As I get swept inside.
At the feeder, in the trees,
Wonder on the walk to school
In how the puddles freeze.
There is wonder in your wave goodbye
In doors flung open wide,
Wonder in your toothless grin
As I get swept inside.
