Poem by Dana L. Young
I’ve lost my sense of wonder
That awestruck look of amazement.
The innocence of a first experience
And the wow factor that comes with
New experiences
I’ve lost my sense of wonder
And I can’t seem to get it back.
I miss that feeling in my youth of first moments
First kisses, first loves, first dates.
A lot of firsts remain wistful
memories or photos stored
in a tin.
I’ve lost my sense of wonder
I don’t know how to get it back
At times I don’t miss it.
But I still wonder…
If I will ever feel that way again
