Wonder

I wonder where the wonder goes
As we start to grow.
I wonder where the wonder goes.
I wonder. Do you know?
The wonder of the spiders web
Bejewelled in the morn.
The wonder of how seeds can grow
Into barley wheat and corn.
Can we keep the wonder
The wonder of a child?
Can we keep the joy of it
And go wondering wild?

I wonder why the wind is.
I wonder why it's there.
I wonder if the wind can
Blow away our cares.
I wonder where the sun goes
When the moon is in the sky.
Are the sun and moon friends?
If not I wonder why.
Isn't it wonderful
The wonder of a child?
Let's try and keep the joy of it.
And go wondering wild.

I wonder how a caterpillar
Can change so very much.
I wonder how some plants
Can curl up with just a touch.
I wonder how a tadpole
Can turn into a frog.
I wonder how many creatures
Can live on one old log.
Let's join them in their wonder.
The wonder of a child.
We all need to wonder
And go wondering wild.
