I ♥ Faces~ Wonder

Wonder

My thought is filled with wonder, 

    The day one grand surprise, 

First one thing and then another 

    Has come before my eyes. 

  

A spider in the garden, 

    Was weaving fairy clothes, 

A child stood by to watch it 

    Under her little toes. 

  

A bold and craggy mountain, 

    A sparkling waterfall; 

And picturesque stalactites 

    Hang from a cavern wall. 

  

I saw two little eaglets 

    Just learning how to fly; 

Sun shadows through an oak-bough, 

    A river flowing by. 

  

A brilliant patch of sumac 

    Along a winding road; 

A quaint old fashioned cabin, 

    (Some pioneer's abode). 

  

Oh, there were many others, 

    I quite forget the rest, 

Because my baby's fingers 

    Lie gently on my breast.

I love this poem.  It fits not only this picture perfectly, as it was captured while Sugar Bear admired a spider, it certainly describes many a moment in my mothering life.  Watching Sugar Bear's constant sense of WONDER as she explores this amazing world, is equaled by the WONDER I feel as I lay eyes on my child each day.

I am pretty excited to head on over to I ♥ faces blog, and see all the moments of WONDER on all the adorable faces.
