Wonderment

Where do we adjust our wonderment Something that we see in the sky A fine honor and grandeur well spent Why do we see only what’s in our eye We celebrate nothing beyond the great Something that we see in the sky How is it that we only want to take And only tolerate beyond our scope We celebrate nothing beyond the great Who must we give to in order to elope Masterful in appearance we find peace And only tolerate beyond our scope What is the cloth that resembles the fleece We make due with the way we really are Masterful in appearance we find peace Nothing delivers like the risen bar Where do we adjust our wonderment We make due with the way we really are A fine honor and grandeur well spent Russell Sivey
