Poem - Wonder Girl



 
 Wonder Girl

The questions flow with earnest ease
from a girl who just turned five,

she wonders why she’s on the ground,
when birds can fly so high,
she wonders where the rainbow ends,
and why she loves fresh pie,
she wonders how the flowers grow
when summer days draw ‘nigh,
she wonders what she ought to do
when a good friend starts to cry,
she wonders why some folks are bad
and why they sometimes lie,

she thinks we ought to live in peace,
she says we ought to try.

  3. She is turning out to be quite a muse. First as a whistling wizard and now as a 'wonder' girl. I have much more in store for wonder girl. Stories are ruminating in my head. Thank you both for commenting and always sharing stories with me from the younger generation. They are a treasure for sure.
