I Wonder About Teachers and Students

I wonder about teachers and students for haven’t we been both?
Alternating between the two is essential for our growth.

Teacher...student...student...teacher...we gladly take our turn
Because one key to life is knowing...when to teach and when to learn.

I Wonder About Wisdom

I wonder about wisdom, for I see wisdom in disguise
When people think they know it all, and thusly think they’re wise.

Brains and wisdom are not necessarily linked, for only the wise discern 
That wisdom comes from knowing...there’s still so much to learn.

I Wonder About Sunrise and Dreams

I wonder about sunrise and dreams...you see I like to think
The sun that rises in the morn and our dreams are somehow linked.

For as we watch the sun rise...on a day...a life that’s new
Today could be the day when all our dreams come true.

I Wonder About Babies

I wonder about babies, who, like acorns in the snow,
Need warmth and love and nurturing if they ever are to grow.

I wonder how many parents understand how tall the tree will grow
Depends on how they care for their acorn in the snow.

I Wonder About The Smile

I wonder about the smile, how moving a few muscles just a trace
Can change our whole demeanor and put a smile on our face.

And with an endless supply of smiles and nothing for us to pay
I wonder...if we shouldn’t spend more time...giving them away?

I Wonder How To Stay Young

I wonder if the key to staying young can be found in simple things
Like running barefoot in the park or pretending to have wings.

Like chasing fireflies by a campfire or waving at a passing train,
Like finding shapes within the clouds...or playing in the rain.

I Wonder About Mothers

I wonder why mom’s worry, for everybody knows
Worry won’t alter tomorrow’s joy... or change tomorrow’s woe.

Why then do mother’s worry...and worry our whole life through?
Because...they are our mothers...and that’s what mothers do.
