What kind of a world
Would we live upon
If there was not a single,
Wonderful moment,
Wonderful sight,
Wonderful person?
Without wonder,
The world is nothing.

Hot blood pumps through my chest
attitude of “do your best”
thumps deep within my head
time to stop bein’ dead
nothin is gonna stoppa this strength
I’ll be runnin’ any length
go! Go! Fasta now!
Push! Push! Harder now!
What? What? Can’t a be done?
nothin’ unda the sun!
No! No! Nothings gonna stop me!
Bein’! Bein’! All that I be!
What? What? Is this fiery wonder?
Makes me feel like a stranger
I! I! Am a spirit of thunder!
Ridin’ on the edge of danger!

Sunrise, warm and bright, lights the mountain tops.
The rays creep down, like a river that never stops
Casting out the shadows of yesterday forever
Making things bloom, constant ever.

My autobiography is punctuated
more by wonder than exclamation.
There are no heavy-handed periods,
just the steady rhythm of a comma
or the sigh of a semicolon.
