To Wonder

To many things unknown to me
So many realities I fail to see

To love and it's boundless effects
Which leaves many with confusion and deep regrets

To the search for answers in places unthinkable
In light of harsh and foolish words unspeakable

To the glaze of your eyes through summer days
Much can be assured in your comfort ways.

Why I wonder with all that I have now

I have plenty yet I want more
I have love yet it is not enough
I have freedom to choose yet I do not 
I have an abundance of family yet I am alone
I have a beautiful place I can call home
I have an boundless supply of food yet I am never nourished
I have hopes and dreams yet I fear them
Most of all I have you

This poem is dedicated to humanity
