CURIOSITY


A new sight; a strange smell; an odd sound,
What is it?  I must check all around.

New places I have not been before,
many interesting things I must explore.

Anticipation makes my heart beat fast,
Such a thrill with discovery, at last.

Being wary on my quest is the key,
I don't want danger to fall on me.

Am I really doing this all on my own?
Maybe I should turn back, head for home.

Again, I see something up ahead;
Following my desire, my body is led.

It is within reach, but I can only stare.
Shall I approach it?  Do I dare?

As I take the final step, I am free,
Such joy at the beauty I now see.

A great journey, this has been,
I know  that I must do this again.
