Analysis of Wondering



Have you wondered what we have done,
Considered the battles we've fought and won,
Dreamt of conquests that came to pass
Watch the raindrops fall on grass?
Life in interesting variables are great,
Out of bed then through the gate,
Working with enthusiasm studying many works,
There is pleasure where sunshine lurks.
He who seeks to improve his lot,
Realises exactly what he has got,
Counts the blessings that God doth give,
Treasures each moment in which we live!
