Song
You begin to sing "Wonder", a song by Joy Chanticleer.
- "A robins egg, an oriole's nest -
- When I was small, these things were best.
- A butterfly's cocoon, stuff spun of brown,
- Was once discovered on the ground.
- A feather, blue, did wonder bring
- A little lad who found these things.
- "For beauty and love and wondering surprise
- May always be found in a child's eyes."
- "A shriveled skin once held a snake,
- A snail shell found by garden rake,
- A piece of quartz that sparkled bright
- Was magic when held to the light.
- Or was the magic in the mind
- Of the lad who made these finds?
- "For beauty and love and wondering surprise
- May always be found by a child's eyes."
- "The other day, I chanced to find
- A box that did these treasures bind.
- And smiling as I touched each one,
- I wondered where that lad had gone.
- The child's eye did wonders see
- That rarely now is there for me.
- "For beauty and love and wondering surprise
- May get overlooked by hurrying eyes."
- "I wandered down, sat by the shore
- To think on this a little more,
- You came to sit alongside me
- And waited there so patiently
- While I did sit and ponder long
- Wondering where that lad had gone.
- "What beauty and love and wondering surprise
- Used to be seen when I had child's eyes."
- "Then looking up, I met your glance,
- And realized that quite by chance
- The answer was -- he'd gone nowhere
- The sense of wonder still was there.
- Now rarely found in wind and tree,
- But always in my love for thee.
- "For beauty and love and wondering surprise
- Are found by the heart, not by the eyes."
The final notes of the song linger for a moment in the air.
