My Wonderment - Wonder Where It Went

I have a sense of wonderment
That's changed over the years
From what it was to where it went
No longer is it clear

From the dreams of a child
Into adult reality
From the beyond to the here and now 
Knee deep in where life's taken me

Where once I used to stand in awe
Are now puddles of cement
As it cures I wonder where
Went my sense of wonderment

Losing track of what I had
And what I dared to dream
I often wonder when my wonderment
Decided to walk out on me
