why do people stop believing in magic?

at two or three, i learned to see
the wonder in everything.
i'd catch a snowflake, and melt with ache
to know how water made that thing.
i climbed every tree, just to see
what the world looked like from there.
i stared at a cloud, wondered aloud
"how much do those weigh? i care!"
i know answers now, done the math - and how!
but i never forgot how to wonder.
when i see people frown, faces cast down
i want to ask "don't you hear the thunder?"

Sad how our perspectives change as we get older. Glad yours hasn't! Great poem.

Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see,
the problem was not with the world; the problem was me.

Our world as we view it can be a red rose or a ragweed.

Thanks for your poem

I can always be distracted by love, but eventually I get horney for my creativity.

very cool poem here PC ...
excellent blending of imagery and inner rhyme to express the emotions
love the sincerety of this as well.

I love your imperfections ... I love your everything ...
Your broken heart ... your broken wings.
