The Time to Wonder

Welcome to Poetry Friday, this week hosted by the lovely Kat Apel on her blog HERE. Stop by to see what she has for us this week! Thank you, Kat!

Maybe because it’s still cold out. And because there is so much trouble and worry in the world, I began to think about warmer, quieter, summer times, quiet moments when I had nothing to do as a child but wonder about the miracles in the world around me. I lived in a small town with trees, grass, and wild life just outside my door. How fortunate!

WONDERING

I have an hour,
to wonder in peace,
touch the grass,
watch the geese.  

Tomorrow
when my chores are done,
I’ll ponder the sky,
the clouds, 
the sun,

by the zinnias,
and hope to spy
a hummingbird
come whirling by.

I wish everyone the time to wonder in peace and even a few moments to ponder the natural world, especially children.

May God bless the people of Ukraine.

Thank you, Kat, for hosting!
