Analysis of I WONDER PT 3

Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)



I wonder...
...at the stars in the sky
Like jewels hurled across
A darkened canvas, just
So I can stare and wonder

I wonder...
...at the waves pounding the shore
The end of their trek
Hitting rocks, refreshing me
On my board I ride, and wonder

I wonder...
...At the green leaved trees
In a canopy above the falls
The roaring River rushing
Through the mountains, a wonder

I wonder...
...at her lovely face, staring at me
Her beautiful curves, seducing me
Her bright eyes filled with love
As she accepts my ring, I wonder

I wonder...
...At the love of a Creator
Who loves us enough to leave
Behind all of Heaven's glories
And guide us to Himself, I wonder

I wonder..
...at all the things He's given
Why should I ever worry?
AMEN

About this poem

Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare Psalm 40 5
