I Wonder ... Why?

I Wonder … Why?

By Gloria Faye Brown Bates/ aka Granny Gee

I sat outside on the porch in the sunshine

It was fall time, the evening cool

I was writing a letter to my friend

When I noticed my hair was shining

My hair was shining gold, it sparkled

I felt such happiness as I held a tress in my hand

I sat there for several moments before releasing it

I loved this moment… it was special

I walked into the house, sat down at my desk

I looked at the window and noticed

The sunshine shining through the white blind

making silhouettes on the opposite wall

There was a silhouette of the blind in detail

A silhouette of the flowers in a pot

I don’t know why but….

This is a special moment to me, too

Through the years I’ve enjoyed such moments

I’ve been in different places when they occur

Nevertheless… I stop to marvel at how they affect me

Because my heart feels such a happiness

I wonder why… I wonder what about these moments

Affect me in such a special way

That I stop what I’m doing just so, I can

Enjoy them to the fullest, with happiness in my heart?

I wonder …why?
