Sense of Wonder

  
         Who neglects to marvel
           sun-up to sundown
         at daily miracles all around

         Water flows under snow
            evaporation happens… 

         O how the paper cut burns
            on which a sense of wonder turns

Never neglect our thankfulness, our sense of wonder…but many do.

Love everything about this. Very clever to have a rhyming couplet at the end ~ totally elevates the poem. Well penned, Gershon ~
