Many people wonder

What it’s like to lose everything

And be the wealthiest person in the world.

“What secret do you have

That the rest of us have never heard?”

They wonder.

Many people wonder

What it’s like to be anything you want to be,

To turn left when others go right.

“What map do you have

That shows a road beyond our sight?”

They wonder.

Many people wonder

What it’s like to journey on your own

Yet never be completely alone.

“What army do you have

That surrounds you with home?”

They wonder.

Many people wonder

What it’s like to live off the prayers

Of those you long to see.

How fortunate are we

That in our family

We never have to wonder.
