Analysis of A Nascent Mind Unfolding

A nascent mind unfolding.
Filled with awe and wonder;
Of the composition of the universe.
And its secrets needing exploration.

And so a small child wonders.
Perked with combustible energy,
To survey Earth’s cornucopia;
And to open Pandora’s treasure box.

The magical nature of wonderment
Is native to a child’s growing mind.
Curiosity sparked by inquisitiveness;
Of how the world is organized.

What adults often take for granted,
What they often fail to remember,
Is how they too were curious
And asked so many questions.

With such a thought I spied a child;
My very own granddaughter.
Legs crossed, and looking upwards,
Towards God’s firmament.

Beneath the Autumn starry skies,
Embraced by Earth’s verdant grass,
Unhindered by both Time and Space,
I saw her poised in wonderment.

Her imagination without limit.
Alone in her mind; at one with the world;
A budding artist, the world as her canvas,
Admiring what God has all created.

A preschool child immersed in drawing
What light can barely capture:
The image of a nascent mind unfolding
What God has gifted mankind.

A child reminding her grandfather,
To once more look and wonder;
How God paints with his rainbow colors,
All things that grace this world.

His mighty firmament above
Embracing earthly creatures:
Plants, animals, the trees;  and people.
And a child cushioned in God’s green grass.
