A New Kind of Magic

I thought I knew what wonder was,

In sunsets, and in seas,

But then I saw you recognize,

The rustling of the trees.

I thought I knew what beauty was,

In art, and song, and light,

But then I saw your gummy smile,

That makes the whole world bright.

I thought I knew what patience was,

A virtue I could learn,

But then I learned its truest form,

For you, my heart will yearn.

I thought I knew what purpose was,

A path I had to find,

But you became my North, my South,

The compass of my mind.

You are a new kind of magic,

A spell I'd never known,

You turned our house into a home,

A kingdom of our own.

So little one, my first great love,

My beautiful surprise,

The greatest wonder in this life,

Is seeing through your eyes.
