| | Wonder, to me, is a good place to be. It helps you to think, it helps you to see. Life's full of twists and turns will abound, But wonder and insight can guide you around. Explore what you may and fill up your mind, And hold in your heart the mysteries you find. Wonder is only saying you yearn To know and select the things that you learn, And making a choice in which way you turn. The best path you take will always be right, 'Cause if you were wrong, you CAN make it right. Each new step you take when you listen and hear Will give you more courage and freedom from fear. So wonder my child, rid of your doubt, And you will rejoice with how you turn out. And though you may fall and struggle, too, Know that I've been there, and will always love you .

I sat there, stunned. The entire auditorium was silent, listening to her message. My eyes welled with tears; everything was a blur. When I finally blinked, I saw the entire roomful of people on their feet, cheering and applauding. Then she ended her speech with her own inspired summary of ''You can turn YOUR wonder into wonderful!"
