What Wow is to Me
Who would jump off the swing; So long, so fast, so quick, It was almost like he sprouted wings. Wow is like the science fair, So many things to see. Look away for a minute or two, And you could miss almost everything. Wow is like a little bird Learning how to fly. Just one step off that ledge And he takes off to the skies. Wow is like your first tooth growing back Because you missed it when it was gone. If you wait a few more years, Then you'll have all new teeth When all is said and done. Wow is like the storybooks That talk about the greater good. Fighting dragons and evil queens and dirty crooks Isn't as easy as it looks. Wow is like the birthday present You'd thought you'd never have. To glum about a day or two before But get it all the same in the end. There are many wows within this world Too many to try and list. But many wows we find in this world We find when we are kids. A child knows the value Of old, wom-out shoe laces. And what it means to hold a kitten So close to their own faces. They always believe in magic, If only for a moment or two, And still think it's special That their parents are good at what they do. So wow is many things We can say or do. But the biggest wow there has to be Is to be alive in this world with you.
