Listen to poem:

How Come I Wonder

The sun awakes each early morn
Bright sky glows its colors adorn
Nothing but jeans tattered and torn
Miracle of life a child is born
	How come I wonder

Fly in formation at high noon
Birds band together sing a tune
Scent of lilac come early June
Summer breezes come none too soon
	How come I wonder

Sun sets without saying goodbye
Sweet aroma of apple pie
A comet flies across the sky
A full moon hangs still way up high
	How come I wonder

I just love the line "How come I wonder" and tend to use it randomly at the silliest times. It makes me happy. LOL
