What a beautiful poem. I would actually start another paragraph with "amazingly wonderful..." but other than that it is almost perfect in its simplicity and insight.

Reminds me of a radio station ID I once heard:
You're listening to W blah blah blah--The songs we play may not be your favorites, but they have a lot of the same notes.
