The Expected One
1860
painting by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller (Museum: Bavarian State Painting Collections) wikidata.org
Wondering, wandering
Never really sure
Exactly what will be around the corner
Curiosity piqued
It just might be love
Perhaps life is a dream
Eyes closed, mind open
The bigger picture attempting to unfold
There’s so much to hope for
So, hoping for love
When wondering and hope
Meet along life’s path
The electricity will light up the world
All because two hearts hoped
Daring to wonder
