A poem

Why are the stars so bright?

Why is the Earth round?

Why does it rain?

And how is the sun so warm?

So many questions

All demanding answers

The never ending curiosity of a child

The gift of seeing everything as new and exciting

When did I lose the ability to wonder?

When did I lose my curiosity?

When did I stop asking questions?

I wish I could rediscover

A childlike wonder and see

The world as a place of

Wonder and

Miracles again

***

I have only recently begun to dabble with poetry and this is one of my first poems.

If you enjoyed it, I'd love you to show it with a like or even a tip.

About the Creator

R.S. Sillanpaa

Why is it so hard to write about myself? That's where I get writer's block!

In short, I am a writer, dreamer, and a cancer survivor writing about a wide range of things, fiction and non-fiction, whatever happens to interest and inspire me.
