Wonder Afire

Look around, what do you see A life scripted tight or a wild fantasy Pages of a book, the stars up above Ignite that curiosity, break the norm Ben Franklin flew a kite in the storm Found the electric thrill, a new world was born A child's eye, sees what might be Dreams up the next thing, sets the mind free Don't lose that spark, that child-like flame The world's a canvas, not just a frame Einstein's riddles, Musk's cars that drive It's the wonder that keeps us all alive Step back, wear spectacles of youth Bubbles in the air, magic in the truth Claude Shannon's mind, buzzing like a line Wired up the world while having a fine time Bezos bets on rockets that kiss the sky Building dreams on dreams, aiming way up high Without the awe, it's just gears and time But with it, it's a symphony, life's sublime Don't lose that spark, that child-like flame The world's a canvas, not just a frame Einstein's riddles, Musk's cars that drive It's the wonder that keeps us all alive It's sad to see when the fire dies Walking through life with just sighs and byes Bring back love, the joy of the read Skills to create, and you'll plant the seed A life without wonder, just imagine the bore Same old every day, who could endure But lace up your shoes with that youthful glee The world's a playground, let the mind spree Great things built by the young at heart A child-like sense, a necessary part From Tesla's coil to Wright's bold flight It's the wonder that makes the world so bright Don't lose that spark, that child-like flame The world's a canvas, not just a frame Einstein's riddles, Musk's cars that drive It's the wonder that keeps us all alive So keep the fire, let it burn bright A world of wonder is our right With joy and awe, let's all strive To keep the child within alive
