wonders

Oh wonder of wonder
Of wonders do not cease
Of child, of a hunger
For bread, for a piece

Of life, of breath
Of cheer of a child
Of life, of care
Of tears to death in sight

Of rain, of gloom
Of clouds over our heads
Of humidity that sticks our clothes to our skins
And evaporates our thoughts in the thin air

Oh wonder of wonder
Of wonders that never cease
Of a child, of a hunger
Of a death, of disease

Of a smile on thy face
Of thy character
Of love lost
Of nature's love, in a grown child
