Wonder and Hope
I was standing in line
Behind a couple at Starbucks today
Clearly newlyweds
Very much in love
As they held hands
Touching and kissing each other
They discussed exactly
What the perfect order would be
I watched with wonder
Seeing them starting out anew
Finding a path
Hoping for the future
Full of love
And dreams
And making sure
They had that order just right
Wonder and hope
Came up again later today
With a new friend or an almost friend
Depending on her current rating of me
It was different
But very much the same
The wonder and hope
Of what life has to offer
She had wonder
I said I lived on hope
Together we agreed
Wonder and hope was the best combination
Visiting the past
Looking ahead
Finding love
And living happily ever after
