The Eighth Wonder

It must be fascinating, To gaze through the end of a scope And look upon the stars, To be beneath the surface of the sea And swim amongst the blissful creatures of the water, To travel the world and know its wonders- The beauty that most cannot fathom. It must be exhilarating To sit astride a motorcycle And fly across an empty road, To stand upon the helm of a ship And glide over the open ocean, Feeling the wind against your skin As your heart beats in earnest. But I am content To sit beside you, And listen to you breathe.

Hello! I’m a sophomore in Speech and I really liked you poem! For our speech contest, I’m doing a literary Program! I was hoping I’d be able to get your permission to use the poem in my program! Would you please let me use it? I will make sure to credit you and I won’t change the poem at all!
