O Wonder!

O Wonder, O Wonder,

O Joyous Wonder,

How come your eyes slip into my memory;

Like dew drops from a leaf

How come your beats sync with mine,

Like the chirp of every bird with the flowing air.

Stop in your tracks, you make me smile,

Run along, you make me aspire

Never does a moment tire, never does a fun wither

As you chide the darkness of life with a sly tap

O Wonder, O Wonder,

O Joyous Wonder,

How come your eyes run far and wide

Like a kid caught stealing toffee.

How come your tip toe slaps mischief,

Like the patting of one’s sweet pet.

The years chew your innocence

Like detergent over oil and color

Bit by bit, wash by wash

And somehow, it loses aging.

O Wonder, O Wonder,

O Joyous Wonder,

Is it because we share blood

Is it because we share homes

Or is it simply because you make us relive!

Relive those cheeky years gone yonder.
