I am a Child

The mind of a child…
      His brain seeks knowledge.
      Feels as though he could know more.
      He asks for answers

The wonder of a child…
      Answers are given.
      Curiosity attained.
      But now wonders why.

The doubt of a child…
      He searches for why,
      challenges its power, but
      respects the unknown.

The adventure of a child…
      The unknown he seeks.
      The path, full of excitement,
      his passion and love

The love of a child…
      His passion is clear.
      He knows only to love.
      Mom’s in the door… hugs.

The age of a child…
      The door can be closed.
      But a child can live,
      even with wrinkles.
