Wonder

Wonder
Quizmo LaGrande

I wonder…
Sometimes too much,
Never, not enough.
I wonder what will come to pass,
What it will be like,
What would happen
If…

If you were an elephant
And I were an elephant too?
Elephants are extraordinary lovers,
Hard to hide, but it’s true.

Or an eagle,
Would you still love me?
Would you ascend and soar with me;
Or would you simply fly?

If the house were painted green
Would I still love it?
My eyes brown instead of blue,
Would I see the world differently?

I wonder if we sailed to France
On a little wooden boat;
Would the sails hold up to thunder
Or avoid heaven’s revolt?

And pass we down canals and locks,
In our little black berets,
Red striped shirts and dungarees,
Oysters raw? Oui, s'il vous plait!

I wonder if the stars would shine
Just as bright as in your eyes
If the world were made of ice cream?
Would chocolate be the sky?

Wonder, wonder all day long
A past, a future, ever strong.
Each day a lesson, each a gem
Wonder, life’s most precious song.
