Wonder

 

Wonder

•

to grow up
is to chase off
our innocence
our naïve belief
in the world as a beautiful place
to harden against the magic
of our childhood dreams

but if by chance
we can cling to just one
perhaps we can hold on
to our precious sense of wonder

  1. One can be enough, especially if we can learn how to hold the wonder inside and call on it when we need it.

    Too many of us “harden against the magic”.
