You read books like they are leaflets that are left on the window of your car Textbooks have always been so intriguing to your nature You take in all your surroundings and don't hesitate to stop to mentally take a photo of anything you find beautiful with the blink of your eyes Your eyes search, anything and everything You map out a persons every detail You will walk away knowing their name, where they come from and what they do yet You can not tell me what colour t-shirt they were wearing And as you move on to bigger things greater experiences learning so much more, moving on, maturing One thing I ask of you is, never lose those Wondering eyes

Wondering eyes
You read books like they are leaflets that are left on the window of your car Textbooks have always been so intriguing to your nature You take in all your surroundings and don't hesitate to stop to mentally take a photo of anything you find beautiful with the blink of your eyes Your eyes search, anything and everything You map out a persons every detail You will walk away knowing their name, where they come from and what they do yet You can not tell me what colour t-shirt they were wearing And as you move on to bigger things greater experiences learning so much more, moving on, maturing One thing I ask of you is, never lose those Wondering eyes
