Wonder
Mary E. McDonald 1968 (NY)
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….
