Book of Wonders in Poetry

Ive always observed my surroundings since I was a boy.
I noticed the wonders with a true sense of joy.
For some reason I remember much from the past.
Who would guess such memories would last.
Theres natural beauty wherever you go.
The most impressive are the parks I know.
I remember my engineering education plus what Ive read.
Science is wonderful. This has to be said.
I think of all the progress humans have made.
Weve just started. Can we make the grade?
