Wonder



I look into your eyes and wonder what you see…

In you ….I see wonder, I see innocence

….confusion and fear

I see complete honesty….

I see a child

I see so much more than many others see

I see you….

I see a child who likes sameness and order

I see a boy who lines up his things… to perfection

I see a child who never tells a lie

I see the black and white you see

I see so much potential in you…

I see the future

I see who you can be…

I look into your eyes with wonder and awe

I see you looking right past me

I see you….
