I WONDER
Where do my eyelids go
When day is here
I open my eyes
And they just disappear!
I wonder why hair
Cover most of my head.
How funny I would look
With feathers instead!
I wonder why skin covers me
From my head to my toes
And how does it manage
To stretch as I as I grow!
I wonder why I'm so different from you
And whether I wonder as much as you do!
Why do my knees bend
Whenever I squat?
I wouldn't be able to
If they did not
I wonder what 
I will grow up to become
There are so many things
That I think would be fun.
But when I grow up, I won't only wonder
I'll listen and learn and try to find out 
For I am glad that this beautiful world which God has made
Is full of things to wonder about!

Shahista Nayani [Tanzania]
