Where is the wonder that I once felt?

Watching snowflakes melt as a child

Where is the wonder that I once knew?

When the sky of blue turned wild?

Where is the magic that thrilled me so,

Watching flowers grow in the spring?

Where is the magic that filled the sky?

How did robins fly and sing?

Where are the marvels that I marveled at?

What changed the kitten into a cat?

Where are the mysteries that I couldn't solve?

What made the world revolve?

Where is the wonder that years conceal,

That a child can feel now and then?

Oh, where is the wonder of long ago

That I'll never know again...
