WONDERSTRUCK One day, I was doing some work, My dad came and gave me a jerk, Told me to follow silently, I obeyed him excitedly, I asked him what it was about, He said, “Look”, and cleared all my doubt; A garden lizard was digging Patiently, as time was ticking, I sat in a chair, watched in awe, How she was digging with her paw; I saw two more garden lizards, One looked much like grandpa wizard, The other must’ve been her husband, They seemed to be unaccustomed To whate’er was happening there, I could only in wonder stare; Soon she turned and slowly settled, Started laying eggs, so little, One by one, they dropped in the hole, Fifteen cute eggs, all white and whole; I was wonderstruck at that sight, A once-in-a-lifetime delight, I thank God for His creations, And for that day’s revelations, Nature’s beauty leaves me spellbound, God’s wonders everywhere surround. 11.22.2021

What a great dad to share such a wonderful find. Years later it shows what a great impression it made on you as you wrote a sweet poem about it. Science learning, love, and bonding all in one poem and in one special find. Your last two lines were special. I agree.

It is amazing to watch the animal world.... the way they make their homes and bring up the young ones. Your watchful eyes have caught the sight brilliantly, Jo !
