We learn ever always!

 

We learn ever always

Life filled with lessons

Stories of a world so big

And of a man so small

Times we feel we've seen it all

And life shows us how we are yet to start

Today a baby is born

Can’t see and hear everything

But yearns to know about the land

He’s been far off in a sea of ocean

Floating and swimming in a wealth of moisture

Suddenly, he comes to a world of dryness

Carried through space by strange and familiar voices

Suckles from a familiar body

As his eyes open and ears brighten,

‘O, there you are. There you are!’

Surprise, surprise: people walk, no swimming

‘How can I be like them?’

Learns to walk but stumbles

Crawls, stands, and waits

One day, he walks, ‘Ah ha! I've done it’

Learns to speak like others

Develops a vocabulary

‘I've known it all’

Surprise, off to school, he’s bundled

‘What!’

‘You need to learn more about the land’

So, from school to school he goes

Learning is now the way of life

He’s through with school

Off to the world he goes!

New tricks and skills to learn

‘Where does the learning stops?’

He’s been having friends and friends

Changing friends like the seasons

‘You need to be steady

‘You have to settle down

Raise a family; build an ocean for others to come’

‘Learn to do these things

They are so important.’

‘When will this learning stop?’

‘Till the end of your days’

An aged man said

‘When the bones get fragile again

You learn to walk again

Crawl on the ground again

Lose teeth again

Learn to speak again

Forget the length of days again

And you go back again

From whence you came!’
