The wonder of it all

The Wonder of It All by Ralph Marston

Do you ever wonderAt the wonder of it all?
Do you ever stand in awe of the tiniest things and how perfectly they work together?
Do you ever stop to think about all the possibilities and how even though they have no limit they grow in number with every minute?
Do you ever wonder when the leaves flutter down in autumn at the incomprehensible power of life that brings them back in spring?
Do you watch the waves roll inand then look out far beyond them where the water seems to touch the sky and realize that the vast expanse before your eyes is only a small little corner of all there really is?
And do you comprehend that all there really is, as unimaginably grand as it may seem,is only a smaller corner still of all that there can be?
Do you ever wonder how love can stay alive past every pleasure and every pain and even when there can be no hope there is more than ever?
Do you ever struggle to lift a heavy rock and wonder how a massive mountain can rise thousands of feet above the plain without even trying?
Do you ever realize that no matter how much you may know, no matter how many wonders you may have experienced,there will always, always be more?
Do you ever wonder why it is you wonder and why you know what beauty is even though you can't define it?
Do you ever wonder who is doing the wondering, who is looking out through your eyes and feeling completely at home with the wonder of it all?
Whatever you believe,whatever you profess,whatever you doubt or fear or hope for,there are some things your heart cannot deny when you let go and let yourself know the wonder of it all.
