Wondering We Do


we all reach a certain age when we again
begin to wonder as if we were a child...
our wonderment includes the profound
as well as the silly and irrelevant...
we look back on our lives and wonder
if we did things right or right things...
we wonder as to our purpose and if we
accomplished what we were supposed to
or if something we do is yet to be...
we look at the sun and wonder why it is
still in the sky after all the years and how
long mankind will appreciate its warmth,
we wonder is all the stars in the sky are
there to represent those who passed away
or if they are simply bits and pieces of
larger stars that somehow broke away,
we wonder why there are so many cats and
dogs and how they became domesticated,
we wonder why we only live so long before
some illness destroys us from inside out,
we wonder if our wondering is real or 
just curiosity that has been instilled within,
and most of all, we wonder if our lives
were really worth ir or just a waste of time.
