When Life Is New

Oh, when I first awoke to existence's thrill,
Awe-struck by all that surrounds me still,
The world with its wonders, a sight to behold,
Clouds, air, and sounds, stories untold.

Marvelous to know, to touch, to feel,
Stones, greens, and winds' swift appeal,
Life is so new, a sparkling delight,
A mirror reflecting all that's bright.

Who am I for life to comprehend?
In infancy's veil, the truth is penned!
I may see, but not life's full scope,
Nor falsehood or darkness to elope.
