The Wonder of ME
by: Bernadette Borja Rosaroso

Look at me in the eyes,

Tell me who am I.
Think of me just like you are,
As I take you as mine.
Gaze into my innermost world,
You’ll learn who I am.
Interact with me,
And acquire a little of myself.
Feel my soul
And together we’ll discover each
other’s world.
